Sean Regan

Creator of SharePoint Smart Solutions · SharePoint & Microsoft 365 Consultant

Sean Regan is a SharePoint and Microsoft 365 consultant who started working with SharePoint in 2006. In over 20 years of hands-on consulting work, he has worked through every era of the platform, from on-premises farms to SharePoint Online, SPFx, Microsoft Graph, and Copilot, for organizations of every size and industry.

Across those engagements, Sean kept running into the same tooling gaps:

Migration tools priced at thousands of dollars a year just to move standard files, lists, and forms
Broken permission inheritance and sprawling access that make leadership wary of rolling out AI (e.g. Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT)
Storage overages driven by unmeasured version history and stale data
Intranets with no basic visual project tracking, dynamic org charts, or flexible list dashboards

Rather than push clients into rigid enterprise licenses or fragile one-off PowerShell scripts, he built SharePoint Smart Solutions: a suite of free, open-source SPFx web parts and desktop tools that address these problems directly. The tools are used by Microsoft 365 administrators around the world.

Why free and open source

I work with a lot of small companies. The existing tools were expensive, and the alternative meant spending all my time writing PowerShell scripts. So I built the tools I wished existed and made them open source, so others can get the same benefit. Open source also means you can read the code, test it in a sandbox, and adapt it to your tenant before it touches your permissions or content.

Consulting services

The tools are free. When you want expert help, Sean and his team work across SharePoint and Microsoft 365, from a single question to a full project. See all our services. Typical work includes:

Tenant-to-tenant and site migrations: planning, identity mapping, and execution for M&A cutovers, divestitures, and consolidations
Permissions audits and Copilot readiness: remediating broken inheritance, oversharing, and “Everyone except external users” exposure before Copilot is enabled
Storage and version-history cleanup: version history trimming, lifecycle management, and avoiding storage overage charges
Power Automate and Forms moves: moving forms and flows between tenants and sites, with connections remapped and tested
Intranets and custom SPFx development: web parts, Microsoft Graph integration, and workflow architecture
Staff augmentation: embedded SharePoint and Microsoft 365 consultants, SPFx and Power Platform developers, and administrators
Advisory and tool support: configuration, priority troubleshooting, and structured monthly advisory plans
