Enabling True Collaboration in the Enterprise and on the Internet
What business intelligence and analytics tools are to structured data, collaboration tools such as Microsoft SharePoint are to unstructured data—the documents, e-mails, presentations, spreadsheets and other content that are the life blood of an organization’s daily internal and external communications. Information that is not easily found, or which cannot be easily searched or shared slows organizations down, drives process inefficiencies and results in poor decision-making. Efficient collaboration, however, brings fluidity, agility and responsiveness.
Microsoft SharePoint empowers the knowledge workers of these organizations with collaborative tools to ensure they have quick and easy access to the appropriate content when they need it; that they are not duplicating effort or overwriting others’ work; and that they can publish their content easily and with security provisions to ensure only those who should have access—either internally or outside the corporate walls—get access to the information.
