What is SharePoint?

SharePoint is more than just one thing. SharePoint is not an application, nor is it a suite of applications like Microsoft Office. SharePoint is a platform that has many functions and facets that people use for various reasons. For some, SharePoint is a collaboration site, some people use it to store documents, and others use SharePoint as a workflow engine to automate daily tasks.

SharePoint includes:

• Content management
• Document management
• Personal cloud
• Enterprise social networking
• Team collaboration
• Enterprise search
• Business intelligence
• Workflow management
• Web content management

SharePoint is a platform that organizations use to build business solutions that streamline their productivity and help them accomplish their goals.
