Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is
the central information sharing and business collaboration platform for the Microsoft Office System. SharePoint 2010 is made up of two main
products: SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010.
SharePoint Foundation 2010 is
the next stage of the product previously called Windows SharePoint Services. Microsoft has renamed the product so that its name
better reflects the product purpose and aligns with other Microsoft foundational services. SharePoint
Foundation provides the fundamental collaboration services on which the SharePoint platform is built,
including these:
A web-centric information
management and presentation platform
Lists and libraries for
storing and managing documents and structured information, such as contacts,
links, and announcements
Security services allowing for
Active Directory integrated access Management and content security, as well as
the ability to extend the environment to use alternative security access providers
Environment and information
management structure that allows for easy resource configuration and
management
Integrated Windows Workflow
Foundation services providing the core for creating workflow-centric solutions
Microsoft SharePoint Server
2010 extends the capabilities provided by SharePoint Foundation by introducing additional services. These services, which follow,
integrate directly into the SharePoint Foundation platform enhancing the existing environment:
Full-featured document,
record, and web content management
Data integration, reporting,
and analysis
Form and process integration
automation and management
Application integration
Enterprisewide search
People integration and social
networking
Personalized content and
alerts
These capabilities are used to create solutions that bring
together people, information, systems, and business processes. Microsoft summarizes the wide range of
capabilities provided by SharePoint 2010
into the following categories:
Sites: SharePoint is a single platform for providing intranet,
extranet, and Internet solutions. These sites and the information within them are
accessible through standard web browsers, Microsoft Office programs, and mobile
devices.
Communities: One of the key uses of SharePoint is to allow people to
effectively work together. Collaboration tools are available allowing teams to
work together on efforts. Tools are also provided that enable people to connect
and communicate with one another.
Content: SharePoint includes a comprehensive set capabilities for
document
management, record management, and web content management.
Search: Quickly locating relevant information increases people’s overall
effectiveness. SharePoint provides enterprise search tools that
can be used to search across content, people, and data throughout the enterprise.
Insights: SharePoint allows actionable enterprise data to be incorporated
into
solutions, making corporate data more broadly available.
Composites: SharePoint is an enterprise solution platform that includes a
wide range of tools and interfaces that can be leveraged to create
comprehensive, cost-effective business solutions.
The capabilities of SharePoint allow you to create solutions to
support your organization's business Needs in a way that is cost effective, can be easily managed, and
allows the SharePoint environment to Become your
central system for managing and accessing all enterprise systems and
information.
