Vendor needs to provide design, configure, and implement a cloud–based SharePoint environment to replace our current on–premises server. The solution should improve internal collaboration, centralize organizational information, enhance document access, sharing, and version control, and support both internal staff and a large external user community. The environment must provide secure, web–based access to organizational files, support simultaneous document co–authoring, maintain version history and reduce document duplication, use metadata and search to improve document retrieval, and support long–term information governance and retention. The scope includes configuration and setup of internal and external SharePoint environments, migration of documents from on–premises file servers in collaboration with the IT Department, coordination with IT in relation to security and M365 administration, migration and configuration of access groups and permissions, validation of security, access, and usability, and documentation of the final SharePoint structure.
