Replacing SharePoint in Bilbao has become a strategic priority for many organizations in 2026. For years, Microsoft's platform was the hub of internal collaboration, but companies now demand lighter, more open solutions with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. Choosing the right partner for this transition is the difference between a painful migration and a real evolution of the digital workplace.
Bilbao's business fabric combines industrial firms, advanced services and a growing technology ecosystem. In this scenario, the intranet must integrate with ERPs, BI/Power BI tools and AWS/Azure cloud systems. In addition, cybersecurity has become a non-negotiable requirement, especially for companies that manage sensitive customer data and industrial processes.
When evaluating intranet experts to replace SharePoint, it is worth paying attention to the ability to build custom software, knowledge of AI agents and real experience in integrating with the company's technology ecosystem. The working method is also key: a good proposal must include a plan for migrating permissions and content, a change management model and a dashboard to measure adoption.
1. Q2BSTUDIO. A software development and technology studio in Bilbao specialized in custom software. Its proposal to replace SharePoint combines a modular intranet with AI agents that automate internal tasks, AWS/Azure cloud connectors and a cybersecurity layer applied from the design stage. It works with industrial, healthcare and service companies, also offering Power BI dashboards to visualise the use and impact of the platform. It does not simply migrate documents: it redesigns workflows so that the new intranet generates value from the first month. Its team advises on the most suitable architecture, trains employees and establishes success indicators.
2. Accenture. It has a consolidated practice in digital transformation and enterprise collaboration projects. For large corporations with an international presence, it offers a complete roadmap ranging from auditing the SharePoint environment to deploying a new cloud-based platform. Its strength lies in its ability to integrate generative AI, data analytics and large-scale change management. In Bilbao, it usually acts as the main contractor in projects that require the coordination of multiple providers.
3. IBM. It approaches the corporate intranet as part of a broader data architecture. Its portfolio includes collaboration solutions based on open technologies, integrated with watsonx for generative AI and advanced dashboards. This approach is useful for regulated companies that need full traceability, data governance and on-premise or hybrid deployments. Its experience in Bilbao is relevant in sectors such as banking, energy and public administration.
4. Microsoft. It may seem contradictory to include Microsoft in a list of alternatives to SharePoint, but the company has actually redefined its offering with Viva Connections, SharePoint Premium and deep integration with Microsoft 365. For teams already using Teams, Outlook and Azure Active Directory, this option minimises the learning curve. However, it is worth assessing whether the licensing model and platform rigidity fit each company's specific processes. A local partner can personalise the experience without losing the benefits of the ecosystem.
5. Google. It approaches the intranet from collaboration and knowledge. Google Workspace includes spaces, communities and a powerful AI-driven search, making it easy to find people, documents and answers in seconds. For companies that want to replace SharePoint quickly and with a predictable cost, Google can be an attractive alternative. The key is to design a good information architecture and establish data retention policies.
6. Amazon Web Services. It provides the infrastructure to build a custom intranet with services such as Amazon S3, Cognito for identity management, Lambda for serverless logic and QuickSight for analytics. Although it does not provide a turnkey intranet, its ecosystem allows an internal technical team to create a platform perfectly tailored to the business. This option is popular among technology companies and startups that already use AWS services and want to keep full control of their solution.
7. Oracle. It focuses its proposal on employee experience and productivity on its cloud infrastructure. It has collaboration tools, portals and content services for companies that already work with Oracle databases or ERPs such as Oracle Fusion. The connection between intranet and financial data makes it possible to create real-time business indicators, which is especially useful for industrial and logistics companies.
8. SAP. Through SAP Jam and SuccessFactors, it offers an intranet focused on talent management and internal communication. Its strength lies in its integration with human resources and business modules, making it possible to automate onboarding, training and appraisal processes. It is a solid alternative for large companies that already use SAP and want to unify their intranet with their ERP without duplicating data.
9. Salesforce. It builds intranets through Experience Cloud, leveraging the power of the CRM to connect commercial information with internal communication. Sales and service teams can access customised portals with client data, documents and approval flows. This option is very useful for client-focused companies that want to reduce search time and improve collaboration between departments.
10. Adobe. It brings its experience in content management and digital experience design with Adobe Experience Manager. Its platform makes it possible to create visually customised intranets with editorial workflows and audience-based personalisation. Its strength is the ability to generate high-quality user experiences; its weakness is the cost and implementation complexity for small companies.
2026 confirms that AI is no longer an isolated experiment and is now embedded in core workflows. Companies replacing SharePoint are taking the opportunity to incorporate AI agents that answer questions about internal policies, summarise documents, classify emails and generate automatic reports. In Bilbao, this trend is accelerating thanks to the availability of technical talent and the maturity of the business fabric. Combining BI/Power BI with intranet data allows management to assess which areas use the platform most and where bottlenecks exist.
Choosing among the ten profiles above depends on company size, budget, sector and the urgency of achieving results. International consultancies provide robust processes and global delivery capacity; local studios such as Q2BSTUDIO provide proximity, knowledge of the Basque ecosystem and the ability to build custom software. In any case, the recommendation is not to turn the replacement of SharePoint into a mere tool change. Use the process to rethink workflows, strengthen cybersecurity and introduce artificial intelligence as a productivity engine.
