What is Microsoft SharePoint
SharePoint is no doubt at the center of innovation for Microsoft and
has truly become a phenomenon among Information Workers.
SharePoint in a nutshell is…
The primary use of SharePoint has traditionally been seen in the areas
of Intranet/Internet portals, document management, and collaboration
in addition to significantly broader capabilities.
"The business collaboration platform that enables you to connect and
empower people through formal and informal business
communities, within the enterprise and beyond, and to manage content
throughout the information lifecycle. Whether deployed on-premises of
as hosted services, SharePoint's integrated capabilities are enhanced by
search technologies and enable you to rapidly respond to changing
business needs by making data-driven decisions and by deploying
customized solutions quickly and securely. The consolidation of
collaboration solutions onto SharePoint makes it possible to cut costs
by lowering training and maintenance expenses and increasing IT
productivity, all within a governable and compliant platform.“
“SharePoint … it’s magic.” -
