Microsoft SharePoint 2010
With Microsoft SharePoint you can help people communicate easily and effectively; spreading individual knowledge and expertise across your organisation.
Microsoft SharePoint is used for intranet, extranet and web deployments. So you can create any number of information / web portals (including your web site) from one solution, avoiding the need to learn how to deploy, maintain and backup multiple different systems.
SharePoint is also used as a way of extending information held in your other systems (for example Microsoft Dynamics NAV) to more users or external partners in a cost effective way.
Communicate
SharePoint enables communication via customisable information "portals". SharePoint allows people to securely collaborate on documents and share information through easy to use and search friendly web sites. So less time is spent looking for information and more time is spent using it productively. SharePoint effectively cuts time and cost wastage by allowing your team to do more in less time and with less frustration.
When used in collaboration with Microsoft Dynamics NAV SharePoint can be used to easily share key business information (such as reports, dashboards and data (e.g. customer & product lists), etc) with a wider audience than your Dynamics NAV user base. Extending access to the data held within your business software at a cost effective price point. So you can have more people securely using and updating information in Dynamics NAV, without the need to purchase full access licenses for all of them.
Contribute
Contribution and collaboration in joint project s and documents is made easy, allowing multiple people to work safely on the same document at the same time. Using SharePoint dramatically reduces the time it takes to create, review and submit documents (such as sales proposals, product information or even web sites) and helps increase the quality that these documents are submitted to. Improving your time to market and the agility with which you can respond to urgent customer / prospect demands.
Extend
Your SharePoint solution can be extended to your partners and customers, so you can securely leverage their knowledge within your organisations. SharePoint provides your organisation the tools and technology to provide this "extended team" with secure portal access to selected information; including information from your Microsoft Dynamics NAV (ERP) and Microsoft Dynamics CRM solutions.
SharePoint 2010 is fully integrated in Microsoft Office 2010, so you can easily save and share information over this platform without leaving the software you are used to using; making collaboration fast, intuitive and consistent.
