As a built-in component of Windows Server, SharePoint makes it easy to implement a dependable, scalable collaboration infrastructure with minimal administrative time and effort

The close integration of SharePoint with familiar tools for authoring, publishing, organising, and finding information, including the Microsoft Office system, helps users get up to speed quickly. SharePoints integrations helps to;

• Simplify the creation and navigation of workspaces with the improved user interface and site creation tools in Windows SharePoint that provide easy-to-use templates, professional-looking site themes, and the ability to rearrange site navigation from within the browser.
• Make it easy for users to get up to speed quickly by providing integration with familiar productivity tools such as those found in the Microsoft Office system—users can create workspaces, post and edit documents, and view and update calendars on SharePoint sites, all while working within Microsoft Office system files and programs.
• Track work and tasks more easily with enhanced integration with Office Outlook 2007 that helps users organize calendars, tasks, contact lists, discussion boards, and meetings.
• Customize workspaces with new application templates that provide custom scenarios for building workflows on the Windows SharePoint Services platform that address specific business processes or sets of tasks.
• Implement a collaboration environment with minimal administrative time and effort, and with the flexibility to change deployment settings.
