SharePoint

SharePoint, from Microsoft, is a software platform that enables colleagues, customers and partners to work together easily, sharing expertise and information across the enterprise. The system provides a vast number of capabilities that empower business users. For example, it enables users to collaborate on documents with each other, tag and rate content, self-publish, track group projects, and even develop their own productivity solutions.

Linksfield has particular expertise in this area, helping our clients design, brand, configure, install and maintain SharePoint sites - whether for an intranet, extranet or external website. We can also provide the necessary integration into other systems that operate alongside SharePoint - such as Outlook / Exchange, Office, Dynamics, or other third party software.

The latest version of the product is Microsoft SharePoint 2010, and this can either be hosted "on premise" in the customer's own hosting centre / data centre, or in the cloud using Microsoft's SharePoint Online service offering.

The key capabilities of SharePoint  are focused in six areas, and these are briefly introduced in the rest of this section. Further information about SharePoint can be found on the Microsoft site here. Examples of how this leading-edge Business Collaboration Platform is used in practice can also be found here, covering all key industries and geographies.
