Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Now Available

With Microsoft SharePoint 2010 as your business collaboration platform, you can empower your people to work together more effectively—and more intelligently. Your employees can use an extensive array of tools to help them share information, organizational knowledge, and personal expertise. And your organization can manage security levels and usage policies.

SharePoint 2010 can help your business:

  • Collaborate and innovate
  • Gain business insights and act
  • Reduce risk

SharePoint 2010 helps organizations and users improve efficiencies and effectiveness by enabling them to better manage their information sharing. The Sites capability of SharePoint 2010 serves as a “one-stop shop” for all of an organization’s business Web sites. Whether a team site for employees, an extranet site for partners, or an Internet site for customers, users can share and publish information using one familiar system. SharePoint 2010 Sites helps organizations and users to:

  • Easily Share & Publish Information
  • Deliver Personalized Experiences
  • Ensure Broad Adoption



What are SharePoint 2010 Sites?

SharePoint connects people to business-critical information, expertise, and one another through web sites. We refer to this capability as SharePoint Sites. SharePoint Sites are the gateway to valuable content and can take the form of an intranet site, extranet site, or even an Internet site. SharePoint Sites can help organizations improve business agility by giving workers the ability to collaborate and make quicker, more informed decisions. Sites allow users to share and discover information and quickly and easily connect with employees across disparate teams, departments, and organizations, as well as external partners and customers.

SharePoint Sites helps organizations of all sizes to address three critical challenges:

1. Share and Publish Information

  • Information Sharing and Publication: Finding, accessing, editing, and sharing information can be complicated and time consuming. Information flow across audiences (employees, partners, customers, etc.) and mediums (across intranets, extranets, and the Internet) can be disjointed and often requires multiple handoffs and approvals.
  • Management and Governance: Multiple infrastructures across intranets, extranets, and the Internet can be complex and demand costly investments of limited IT dollars (servers, updates, facilities, boxes, storage, network costs, etc.) Customization and integration of multiple systems are commonly not only risky, but very costly.

2. User Experience

  • Targeting the Right Audience: It can be difficult to target specific audiences for information sharing, and it is often easier to just send information to everyone rather than identifying and targeting audience segments. This contributes to information overload and requires users to spend valuable time sifting through data.
  • “One Size Fits All”: Tools don’t account for users’ unique preferences and approaches to consuming information. This ranges from supporting the language needs of a globalized workforce to enabling new methods of employee to employee knowledge sharing and not just one to many corporate communications.

3. User Adoption

  • Unfamiliar Tools and Interfaces: Users attempting to develop, publish, and share information in organizational environments repeatedly must learn to work within new UIs, and generally find that the solutions do not integrate well with their existing desktop productivity applications.
  • End User Training: Many information solutions require a high degree of training to bring end-users up to speed and make them productive in their environments. These lengthy ramp-up times to learn new tools can reduce usage of the solution and prove costly, both in direct (i.e., formal training regimen) and indirect (i.e., lost employee productivity) costs.
  • Limited Access: Accessing information when not within corporate networks can be difficult and slow, particularly when offline or when using mobile devices.

As more and more organizations look for solutions to enable the effective use of information share to drive increased efficiency and performance, many are turning to Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
