Microsoft SharePoint
.
SOFT <coders> Bangladesh use SharePoint to create websites. You can use it as a secure place to store, organize, share, and access information from almost any device. All you need is a web browser, such as Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Firefox.
Microsoft says SharePoint is one of the fastest-growing applications in the company’s history. In 2009, SharePoint generated $1.3 billion in revenues from an installed base of 100+ million users.
Microsoft no longer breaks out SharePoint sales, but analysts say it has continued to surge. For example, a recent Gartner report calls SharePoint “the most widely used document- and collaboration-centered platform.” In other words, SharePoint has won the battle for the enterprise.

SharePoint is many things to many people. Far beyond one application, SharePoint is a full-featured suite of many different apps. These include:
.
• content management
• enterprise social networking
• intranet, extranet and portal creation
• collaboration tools
• project and workflow management
• business intelligence
• enterprise search
.
It makes sense to develop a plan for how your team can best use it. As a minimum, this plan should cover:
.
• A “taxonomy” (set of classes and naming conventions) for data stored in SharePoint
• Which pieces of SharePoint will be used and by whom
• Who will support each group of SharePoint users
.
An alternative to ad hoc installs, questionable configuration and drawn-out troubleshooting can be to outsource your SharePoint hosting to a trusted third party.
