Microsoft SharePoint, also known as Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies or simply SharePoint, is a software platform developed by Microsoft for collaboration and web publishing combined under a single server. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence.

Features

Microsoft does not intend SharePoint to replace a full file server or to function as a single-use solution. Instead, it positions the product to play various roles in a business environment. SharePoint users access the web-based user interface through a browser. While the product supports all browsers, only Internet Explorer, which Microsoft designates as a “Level 1″ browser, is fully integrated and able to utilize the full functionality of SharePoint.

SharePoint sites are functionally ASP.NET 2.0 web applications, served using IIS and using a SQL Server database as a data storage back end. All site content data, such as items in document libraries and lists, are stored within an SQL database named by default as “WSS_Content_[ID]“.

Why Sharepoint??
