What is SharePoint?
Take an idea and make it a reality.
Microsoft SharePoint is a Microsoft Web application platform with a myriad of rich feature sets and functionality. SharePoint is now the dominant software for creating organizational intranets with approximately 50% of all intranets developed on SharePoint! SharePoint has a Microsoft Office like interface, and is closely integrated with the Office suite, allowing the end user a rich interface unlike any other. The web tools are designed to be usable by non-techies yet comprehensive enough to keep your IT side very happy. SharePoint can be used to provide:
- Intranet Portals
- Collaboration
- Social Networks
- Business Process Automation
- Extranets
- Websites
- Enterprise Search
- Business Intelligence
- Systems Integration
- Content Management
- Process Integration
- Workflow Automation
- Electronic Forms Management
- Governance Modeling
- Records Management
- Mobile Device Integration
Many back-end applications like ERP and CRM, provide some SharePoint integration capability, and SharePoint also incorporates a complete development stack based on web technologies and standards-based APIs. The SharePoint platform integrates directly into IIS, enabling bulk management, scaling, and provisioning servers, as is often required by large organizations and cloud hosting providers.
According to Microsoft, SharePoint is used by 78% of Fortune 500 Companies. Between 2006 to 2011, Microsoft sold over 36.5 million user licenses. There are two free versions of SharePoint as well as upgraded editions with additional functionality and usability, and now a cloud service edition as part of the Office 365 platform.
