• What are the benefits?
• How does it out perform SharePoint2007?
• What is the cost?
• Are there new and additional hardware requirements?
A little exploration of SharePoint 2010 can answer these questions.
SharePoint 2010 Possesses Rich Features
This is a collaboration tool that, through a fully integrated presentation of rich features, enables people to connect with one another empowering them to complete individual and team-oriented tasks with greater ease and success. The number of benefits derived from SharePoint 2010 includes:
• Connections between people can be accomplished through both informally and formally created communities within the enterprise at hand as well as beyond it, for example, outsourced research
• Content management is enabled throughout the entire information life cycle
• Search capabilities are enhanced allowing users to respond quickly to changing business situations where data-driven decisions can be made and immediately created solutions enacted
• The new version allows for less maintenance and training costs and thus increases IT productivity
How do Users Benefit?
The greatest benefit is from improved administration features and a completely scalable architecture. This allows the management of services like MySite, searches and more to go through a centralized administration function. Third-party players can also build and add services to the collaboration platform. Deployment features maintain great flexibility yet retain complete control.
