What is SharePoint?

SharePoint is a platform for collaboration, document sharing, meeting, record management, content management, business intelligence kit. SharePoint marketing tagline is “Business Collaboration Platform for Enterprise and Web”.

Let’s understand SharePoint by an example:

Suppose a project manager was assigned a new project in his organization.

Let’s name this project manager as Mr. A

So Mr. A will send emails to HR and other projects Managers to know following things:

How many resources are free? How many resources are expert in designing, How many are in .Net technology etc.

After that Mr. A will gather his team and will held some meeting, then few email exchange, document sharing via email, telephonic conversations and many more.

Few weeks later Mr. A will have to expand time to search for a particular document, he needs to scribble his email folders, he needs to ask his team mates for a particular things.

Are these work going to give any result? Might be or might not be. To make above work in a smart fashion SharePoint is perfect place.

How Mr. A can manage above works with SharePoint.

Mr. A will search for .Net technology candidate from SharePoint portals. He will held some meetings and will upload documents to SharePoint portals. Mr. A can manage those documents with a version and later any time he can get desired documents in easy way.

He can create a meeting site for daily updates on meetings held. He can create a task list to track tasks.

So SharePoint has made our life easy.
