Everything About SharePoint (Adam Robins)
Mar 3, 2011
There is a piece of software that is not known by many people. This is SharePoint. It's hard to believe this because I grew up in the IT world but it is true. Most people don't know that it is one of the hottest selling products in Microsoft's portfolio. Many IT professionals believe that the product is mostly SMB. This is where they are wrong. The product is actually everywhere. SMB's just happen to use most often than large businesses and in more departments.
For those that don't understand what SharePoint really is, I wanted to give you an introduction. Let's say you run a firm or you are project manager. When you get a new project, what is the first thing you need to do? Well you need to find a team that will do the work. SharePoint can help you choose a team to do the project. The software will then help you assign tasks to all your employees on the team. The next step may be to link the SharePoint data to another source. You can do this too with the more recent versions of SharePoint.
These are just the basics of the product. There are many more things that you can do. The ROI keeps getting better and better in every year to come. This is why it keeps growing. But the product itself is not old. It is fairly new.
That is enough about SharePoint though. What else does Microsoft offer its enterprise customers? Well it offers CRM. This is part of the Microsoft dynamics suite. CRM is actually used to help users input key customer information. It's like a database for a business. Any employee with access can log on and find customer phone numbers, email addresses, and any other information. Again this is a product solution that is actually scalable and can be customized to fit the needs of the customer.
Microsoft has a lot of other products as well like SQL and Microsoft Windows server 2008.
