What is SharePoint?

“SharePoint 2010 makes it easier for people to work together.

Using SharePoint 2010, your people can set up Web sites to

share information with others, manage documents from start

to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make better

decisions.”

THE FLAVORS OF SHAREPOINT

The CFO had a “request”

I want to know where all of all of the leases around the globe

This required collaboration of 41 VPs and directors

SharePoint by fire, not the best approach

All executive had access to upload their files

The end result, all documents we uploaded to the site for

review by the CFO

No longer were documents in file shares, emails, flash drives,

and file drawers

The In-House Counsel stated “I love SharePoint!”
