Hire SharePoint and Microsoft 365 Developers

SharePoint work is rarely requested as SharePoint work. It arrives as a department that has built something real on a site — an approval process, a register, a document workflow that the business now depends on — with no owner, no test environment and permissions that grew one exception at a time.

The first job is usually inventory rather than development. Which sites are live, what is actually stored in them, who can reach it, and what would happen if the person who built the flow left. On a large estate the honest answer to the last question is often that nobody knows, and establishing it is the work that has to happen before anything is migrated or rebuilt.

The second is deciding what should be a SharePoint solution at all. A great many internal tools are on SharePoint because that was what was available, and would be better as a small application. Others are exactly right where they are and need governance rather than rewriting. Someone who reaches for the same answer both times is not much use.

The third is permissions, which is where the genuine risk sits. Broken inheritance, sharing links that outlived the person who created them, and a site collection where the fix for an access problem was to widen access. In a regulated environment that is the finding, and it is invisible until someone goes looking for it.
