By implementing bi-directional communication, Minacs employees all over the globe have immediate replication of content within SharePoint. Bandwidth and location issues are no longer a factor for their offices located in the Asia Pacific regions because end users have local access to the content they need. Both SharePoint environments are now able to maintain synchronization, enabling up-to-date information to reach all end users quickly.

Before investigating SharePoint replication, it is crucial to plan out your SharePoint farm topology so you can enable maximum synchronization, adoption and collaboration. The amount of content in SharePoint and the number of users will only increase through this year and beyond. The proliferation of SharePoint means that more organizations will have to find a solution to ensure its workforce—whether 300 or 3,000 miles apart —can collaborate on documents in real-time and ensure maximum productivity from all employees.

However, if you plan appropriately and prepare your SharePoint environment for synchronization, you can make your company's world bigger and smaller at the same time. Regardless of location, the documents your employees need will be available to them and updated in real-time.

The future of your SharePoint has arrived.
