Fortune 500 Companies that Use SharePoint Sites

SharePoint is a powerful tool on almost every front. Whether you're looking to create a more powerful social infrastructure for your company, ensure that each employee always has the right document, make training and scheduling more simple, or make your task workflow more effective, SharePoint offers solutions. One of the features often overlooked, however, is the ability to create dynamic, attractive front-facing websites.

Some companies fear that they will look unprofessional if they use a SharePoint-generated site as their public-facing resource. However, there are numerous Fortune 500 companies who have and continue to use SharePoint as their public-facing content management service. Here are just a few of the Fortune 500 companies who are using SharePoint sites today.

1) Procter & Gamble.

Procter and Gamble is a mega-corporation that controls some of the most powerful products on the market. From Pringles to Tampax to Pantene Pro-V, P&G has its fingers in several core marketplaces. To ensure that these products are presented in the ideal light, P&G has turned to SharePoint; four of their core sites are designed using SharePoint.

2) Kroger

Kroger, the supermarket giant, is a recognized name across the country. Their combination of low price and solid quality has helped the brand build itself into what it is today. To protect that brand, Kroger chose to create a SharePoint site.

3) Dell Financial Services

As a leader in the electronics industry, Dell is a household name for many Americans. Their low-cost computers are also a mainstay for businesses and educational organizations across the world. To help get their products into consumers' hands, Dell offers flexible financing – and to ensure that the financing runs as smoothly as possible, Dell runs a SharePoint site.
