What is SharePoint?
SharePoint is a term used to describe a set of Microsoft technologies that offers document management out-of-the-box, and places corporate intranets in the hands of the business users, not the IT department. It also offers simple, easy and effective collaboration, especially when using Microsoft Office 2003.


SharePoint websites can be easily customised ...


... and work for all sorts of industries
