SharePoint Video Explains SharePoint
August 24, 2009
I think I know what SharePoint is—a very complex collection of disparate services, functions, and subsystems. I know that SharePoint can be one or more of these systems: search, content management, collaboration, enterprise publishing, business intelligence, or knowledge management, among others. For those who don’t know what SharePoint is, a video is available to explain SharePoint. The article “New SharePoint 2007 Video” can be located on the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog. What I found interesting was that SharePoint 2007 is getting a new video in 2009. Here’s a snippet from the write up:
This video takes a friendly approach to show how SharePoint can help you work together with others in more efficient ways. For example, SharePoint can help you plan and work on a project online instead of sending files back and forth in e-mail.
When someone tells me SharePoint is not complicated, I chuckle. Enjoy the video. Does the video touch upon search? I do not know. I fell asleep.
