What is SharePoint?

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is an integrated suite of server capabilities that can:

• Give business users greater control over the storage, security, distribution and management of their electronic content, with tools that are easy to use and tightly integrate into familiar, everyday applications
• Help organisations accelerate shared business processes with customers and partners across organisational boundaries using Forms-Services-driven solutions.
• Help information workers find information and people efficiently through the facilitated information sharing functionality and simplified content publishing.
• Give business users access to back-end data through a web browser and views so data can be personalised.
• Free I.T Staff from having to write server-side code through out-of-the box workflows.
