What is Windows® SharePoint™ Services? | | |
Understanding Windows® SharePoint™ Services
Windows SharePoint Services provides a secure,
scalable, enterprise-level portal environment based on
sites and subsites, for team collaboration. Because
SharePoint aggregates and organizes information in one
place, users can find relevant information quickly and
efficiently. Using the internet and regardless of
physical location, all team members have
password-protected access to SharePoint sites and can
work together on tasks, projects, documents, and
announcements. Site managers can coordinate site content
and user activity.

How it Works
Windows SharePoint uses Web Parts and Windows ASP.NET-based
components. Designated Windows SharePoint Site
administrators can add users to their SharePoint
community, and assign various user permissions. Read
only, Edit, Administration, and Web Design capabilities
can be allocated to different users depending on the
role function that they require. Ready-to-use Web Parts
provide a solid foundation for out-of-the box
functionality. However, administrators can easily
design, deploy, and administer the environment and
support application development.
