1. A complete view of a business
Users can access all the information,
documents and applications that they use
throughout the day with SharePoint. They can
find and reuse timely and relevant
information from multiple sources, and
quickly locate and access documents,
projects and best practices by searching or
browsing — all through the SharePoint portal.
2. Sharing knowledge across an
organization
SharePoint makes it easy for business units,
teams and individuals to contribute content
to the portal. Teams can easily make the
content in their SharePoint sites
discoverable through the portal by browsing
or searching. And users can publish
documents and best practices to the rest of
the organization by adding them to the
public view of their personal sites.
Document libraries that support version
control, routing and approval
functionality ensure that only the most
up to date content is being used.
3. Finding and leveraging an
organization’s intellectual capital
The industry-leading search technology in
SharePoint lets users locate documents,
project plans and best practices in file
shares, individuals and teams, Web sites, Microsoft Exchange Public
Folders, Lotus Notes and databases instead
of having to re-create existing information.
Users can also organize information,
documents and sites, enabling them to find a
wealth of relevant information by browsing.
4. Finding, aggregating and provisioning SharePoint sites
SharePoint enables the creation of portal
pages for people, information and
organizations. The portal becomes a
collaborative experience by extending the
capabilities of individual SharePoint sites,
enabling users to organize, manage and
provision SharePoint sites from the portal.
Teams can also publish information in their
sites, sharing their best practices with the
entire organization.
5. Reduced development time and cost with
out-of-the-box portal services
Users can deploy SharePoint right out of the
box without any additional development work.
Portal services such as search, SharePoint
site management, topics and news, and My
Sites are available immediately. Web Parts
that provide read/write access to
applications such as Microsoft Excel also
are available right out of the box, lowering
development costs.
