Microsoft SharePoint

SharePoint 2010 is the business collaboration platform for the Enterprise and the Internet. When people need to work with other people, with content and information, or with line-of-business data, they can use the rich, out-of-the-box set of integrated capabilities in the SharePoint 2010 platform.

People can also customise these capabilities to address specific business needs and integrate them with other products and solutions. Using the same set of capabilities and tools, companies can deploy SharePoint 2010 both inside the enterprise (that is, intranets) and outside of the firewall (that is, extranets, the Internet) so employees, customers, and business partners can work with the platform.

SharePoint 2010 Key Benefits

• Deliver the best productivity experience by letting people work together in ways that are most effective for them. Whether through the PC, browser, or mobile device, SharePoint 2010 offers an intuitive and familiar user experience. These capabilities are significantly enhanced by the way SharePoint 2010 and Microsoft Office 2010 work together, letting people increase productivity while using familiar products and tools.
• Cut costs with a unified infrastructure that offers enterprise-scale manageability and availability. Whether companies deploy the platform on-premises or as hosted services, SharePoint 2010 lowers the total cost of ownership by offering an integrated set of features and by helping companies consolidate their business-productivity solutions on top of SharePoint Server. Companies can then reduce costs related to maintenance, training, and infrastructure management.
• Rapidly respond to business needs with dynamic and easily deployed solutions. SharePoint 2010 offers the tools and capabilities for end users, advanced users, and professional developers to design and create business solutions that can be integrated with existing company data, tools, and processes.
