SharePoint 2010 is the business collaboration platform that enables you to connect and empower people through formal and informal business communities, within the enterprise and beyond, and to manage content throughout the information lifecycle. Whether deployed on-premises or as hosted services, SharePoint’s integrated capabilities are enhanced by search technologies and enable you to rapidly respond to changing business needs by making data-driven decisions and by deploying customized solutions quickly and securely. The consolidation of collaboration solutions onto SharePoint 2010 makes it possible to cut costs by lowering training and maintenance expenses and increasing IT productivity, all within a governable and compliant platform.



Microsoft Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 gives people the ability to view and edit with PCs, browsers, and mobile devices. This combination also includes greater capabilities for people to use Microsoft Office applications to edit documents and work with information from line-of-business (LOB) applications while offline, and then resynchronize when they’re reconnected to the network. The ability to co-author the same document or share a Microsoft Office OneNote® notebook reduces review cycles and enhances teamwork. Microsoft Office Backstage view puts many more SharePoint 2010 capabilities in the context of Office applications, including greater automation of metadata capture and streamlined access to document libraries and SharePoint workspaces.
