What is SharePoint?

A SharePoint site is a Web site that provides a central storage and collaboration space for documents, information, and ideas.

A SharePoint site is a tool for collaboration, just like a telephone is a tool for communication, or a meeting is a tool for decision making.

A SharePoint site helps groups of people (whether work teams or social groups) share information and work together.

For example, a SharePoint site can help you:

  • Coordinate projects, calendars, and schedules.
  • Discuss ideas and review documents or proposals.
  • Share information and keep in touch with other people.
SharePoint sites are dynamic and interactive -- members of the site can contribute their own ideas and content as well as comment on or contribute to other people's.


Microsoft SharePoint 2010 makes it easier for people to work together.

Using SharePoint 2010, your people can set up Web sites to share information with others, manage documents from start to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make better decisions.
