What is SharePoint?


What is SharePoint?

 

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 makes it easier for people to work together. Using SharePoint 2010, you can set up Web sites to share information with others, manage documents from start to finish and publish reports to help everyone make better decisions.

 

SharePoint isn’t a program, its platform and is a collection of many products and technologies. SharePoint is a server product, which is shared across your network accessed through office programs or via the Internet.

 

SharePoint is split into 6 areas;

 

Site – SharePoint allows you to create websites. You don’t need to be a web designer to create these websites as they are easily changeable.

 

Communities – SharePoint helps you work together with other people – shared documents, calendars, task lists and calendar boards.

 

Content – SharePoint gives you a place to put your content. The documents you store on SharePoint can be accessed by other users and changed in real-time.

 

Search – SharePoint has a complex smart search engine that allows you to securely search your content in multiple ways as well as other colleagues’ documents too.

 

Insight – SharePoint helps to bring all your information together and understand it better. It organises documents and presents it in a way that makes sense. Data can be combined into reports so that you can understand the information you have.

 

Composites – SharePoint can be extended and customised without being a programmer. SharePoint can talk to your systems and databases.

 

Why use SharePoint?

 

The capabilities of SharePoint 2010 work together to help your company quickly respond to changing business needs. Using SharePoint 2010, your people can share ideas and expertise, create custom solutions for specific needs and find the right business information to make better decisions. For IT, SharePoint 2010 helps you cut training and maintenance costs, save time and effort and focus on higher business priorities.
