The document discusses replacing SharePoint with eFolder Anchor for file sync and collaboration. It notes that while SharePoint has benefits like centralized administration and integration with Office 365, it is outdated and lacks ease-of-use. The document shares case studies of how eFolder Anchor satisfies requirements for industries like healthcare, defense contracting, and CPAs by providing secure file sync, third party sharing, and compliance with regulations. CentrexIT has seen over 55% gross margins selling eFolder Anchor compared to SharePoint.
