SharePoint Server 2010

Microsoft SharePoint provides enterprise features and services, such as global search, personalized portals, Office workflow, document retention, and support for enterprise application integration and single sign-on.

Microsoft SharePoint is a reliable, scalable and easy-to-deploy and manage platform for developing customized portal solutions. With SharePoint, you can tie together disconnected islands of data, integrate technology with business processes, and target and personalize information for groups and individuals so that users can be more productive and effective in their work. Microsoft SharePoint takes advantage of existing infrastructure investments to keep the total cost of ownership low.

Enterprise Content Management Capabilities
Simplify compliance efforts and keep business information more secure through a comprehensive set of tools to manage and control electronic content. Use SharePoint's Enterprise Content Management capabilities to streamline the everyday business processes that are a drain on organizational productivity by using electronic forms and out-of-the-box workflow processes that users can initiate, track, and participate in through familiar Microsoft Office applications, e-mail or Web browsers.

Control documents through detailed, extensible policy management
Define customized document management policies to control access rights at a per-item level, specify retention period and expiration actions and track content through document-auditing settings.

Centrally store, manage, and access documents across the enterprise
Organizations can store and organize all business documents and content in one central location with SharePoint giving users a consistent mechanism to navigate and find relevant information. Default repository settings can be modified to add workflow, define retention policies, and add new templates and content types.

Simplify Web content management
Provide easy-to-use functionality to create, approve, and publish Web content. Master Pages and Page Layouts provide reusable templates for a consistent look and feel. New functionality enables enterprises to publish content from one area to another (for example, from a collaborative site to a portal), or to cost-effectively manage multilingual delivery of content on multiple intranet, extranet, and Internet sites.

Streamline everyday business activities
Take advantage of workflows to automate and gain more visibility into common business activities such as document review and approval, issue tracking, and signature collection. Integration with familiar Microsoft Office client applications, e-mail, and Web browsers simplifies the user experience. Organizations can easily modify the out-of-the-box processes or define their own processes using familiar Microsoft tools such as SharePoint Designer or Microsoft Visual Studio development system.
