How SharePoint Can Help Your Business To Collaborate Effectively
If your organisation relies on the co-operation and collaboration of workers (which let's face it, most of us do), then you'll need to put effective document sharing software in place. There are several packages around which allow you to do this, however, Microsoft's SharePoint is widely regarded as being the best.
This is due in no small part to its compatibility with the Office Suite of applications, the industry standard when it comes to workplace IT.
What is Microsoft SharePoint?
SharePoint is essentially an online document management system, which enables businesses to collaborate and pool resources through an web-based platform, made up of employees, suppliers and partners.
The application includes frameworks for enhanced team collaboration, as well as customisable templates, which can be tailored to your specific requirements. This allows users to quickly and easily create extranets, project portals, and team websites.
Everything in one place
In most workplaces, documents are stored in a number of places. This can include mailboxes, hard drives and external storage devices.
One of the biggest headaches facing most organisations is the migration of data between these systems. SharePoint solves this problem by keeping everything in one convenient location, providing a uniform, easy to access location for all files and folders.
This makes life much easier for employees by providing access to a centralised repository of documents and project information, which is particularly useful in the management of team activities.
Integration of departments
Every successful organisation relies on effective communication between departments. SharePoint is a great way of ensuring this, by offering workers a centralised database of information, which can be accessed by everyone within the company. This includes the effective sharing of contacts, events, and other information, which can help departments to work together on projects and group activities.
Easily accessible
As the leading web based document management system, SharePoint is easily accessed from any location in the world via a web browser. All you need is a computer or a mobile device and an internet connection and everything you need is at your fingertips.
Working on the go
Increasingly, many businesses are relying on remote worker capability. SharePoint enables users to collaborate effectively when they are away from their desks, by giving them remote access to information via a mobile device. This can not only improve worker productivity, but also significantly reduce travelling costs.

What is this prize offer? Is it real. I have got a mail :YAHOO BETA AWARD CENTER UNITED KINGDOM,IN COLLABO
The mail :is as following:YAHOO BETA AWARD CENTER UNITED KINGDOM,IN COLLABORATIONS WITH
LONDON MILLION INTERNATIONAL AND AFRICAN LOTTERY PROMOTIONS.
This is to inform you that you have won a prize money of SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND GREAT BRITAIN POUNDS STERLINGS (£700,000.00) in the YEAR 2007 YAHOO! Lottery promotion which is organized by YAHOO! LOTTERY INC and HOTMAIL for the introduction and Launching of the new YAHOO! BETA MAIL and Windows Live Mail Beta which all YAHOO! And HOTMAIL subscribers are required to switch to.
YAHOO! & MICROSOFT WINDOWS, arranged and gathered all the e-mail addresses of the people that are active online, among the millions that subscribe at YAHOO!, HOTMAIL and others we only selected THREE (3) candidates as our winners after undergoing the random selection process through Electronic Balloting System (E.B.S) without the candidate applied, we congratulate you for being one of the people selected.
No. There is no Yahoo! Lottery, and we would never send you information about a contest you never entered.
That’s the definition of unsolicited: you never asked for it. It showed up out of nowhere. The message probably also displays two other hallmarks of fraud emails: it appears to be official (with company logos, even links), and it demands urgent action “to claim your prize”, or something similar.
If you’ve received a message like “Final Notification: Yahoo! Mail Winner!” or “Your Email Address Has Won $XX million”, it’s a scam.
Don’t reply to the email, don’t click on any links in it, and never divulge any personal information. Instead, click Spam.
Yahoo! Mail will never request personal information in an unsolicited email.
If you get an email that looks like it’s from Yahoo! but tells you you’re the winner of a Yahoo! Lottery or other contest – and it asks you to email personal information to claim a cash prize or reward – click Spam to dispose of it. You can also forward the suspicious email to [email protected] Thanks!
"Phishing" is a play on the word "fishing" — because perpetrators are "fishing" for your private information or trying to find ways to trick you into sending them money. Don’t be fooled! These deceptive emails are used to commit identity theft, charge your credit cards, empty your bank accounts, read your email, and lock you out of your online account by changing your password.
