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.
