Sharepoint Services - What is It?

Published Friday, November 7, 2008 by bloggerblognet22596 | E-mail this post

Up until 6 months ago, the term Sharepoint Services was foreign to me. Shortly after I was introduced to the term, I was introduced to the actual program. When I was initially introduced to it, I was baffled. The program has so many features and so many capabilities that I was immediately overwhelmed. I felt as if I were standing at the bottom of Mt. Everest looking up.

I then began to make my journey into SP services the same way I would imagine a climber would journey up Mt. Everest. One step at a time!

Now that I have become fluent in SP, I feel it is my duty to make the process easier for others. Thus, I have authored a number of how to articles discussing the most important features. I think I missed an important step though. I have never written an article giving a brief description of what exactly Sharepoint Services is. Thus, the birth of this article.

So, what exactly is SP services?

Let me explain this in the simplest terms possible.

If you can, picture a bulletin board located in the break room of your office. On this bulletin board there are a number of different sections. These sections consist of the following major categories:

Team calendar/schedule
Company announcements
Tasks to be completed
A reference sheet
Employee contact information
Free write section / blog
Document Library

Now imagine this bulletin board being accessible online. Privately, of course. Meaning that only authorized persons have access to this information. This is essentially what Sharepoint Services is.

It is an online meeting platform that allows you to share an endless amount of information with team members all over the world.

There it is! A brief explanation of what exactly SP is.

I hope this helped.
