What is SharePoint?
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is an enterprise information portal that’s designed to improve a company’s efficiency and effectiveness through content management, enterprise search and file and information sharing. SharePoint’s single, integrated platform supports Intranet, Internet and Extranet sites without replacing your existing sites.
Who should use SharePoint?
SharePoint is ideal for anyone who wants to operate their business more efficiently – from small groups to cross-functional teams to entire organizations. Those who might benefit most from SharePoint’s collaborative environment include individuals, teams and projects within medium to large companies.
Why should we use SharePoint?
Get more done in less time, with the peace of mind knowing that your documents and processes are secure, yet accessible to the people who need them. That’s just part of the benefit of implementing Microsoft SharePoint into your collaborative business environment.
Microsoft SharePoint allows businesses to save, store and retrieve files from one central location, helping you to further facilitate a shared environment, no matter where employees are located.
