SharePoint 2010?

If someone has asked this question there is no single answer to that. SharePoint is a very large and has many features. So if we start talking about them, then it may take weeks to cover all functions.

But in simple words "Microsoft SharePoint is a platform for enterprise collaboration and content management that allows users to connect with each other and share information across an organization. Indirect that solves problems in an organization share documents, security, business processes, maintenance of data, rich user interface and SharePoint 2010 so many features. "

1. Sites:You can create a website within seconds of the user interface. You can set the number of sites that you want as needed and set different permissions for each site. SharePoint 2010 comes with the rich user interface and numerous improvements to the HTML. They replaced all the tables in HTML [SharePoint 2007] with HTML div [SharePoint 2010]. It makes a big difference in the rendering of HTML browser, both in performance and time.

And the main thing is important in the tape. The film is the great revolution and all options are on the page itself. The property of the tape change dynamically / automatically depends on what context you are in. No need to leave the current page and do something. Everything on the page and do the necessary things. This rich user interface and support for the film, is very easy to create and manage content on the site.

SharePoint 2010 sites can be viewed on any browser. One limitation is that it is not compatible with IE6 [I think nobody is using IE6 again]. Therefore, we can say that it is multi-platform. It will be very good for developers and users have their own ideas on using the browser. I IE9 and Mozilla. Previous versions of SharePoint do not like other IE browsers. So this problem has been fixed in this release.

SharePoint 2010 is compatible with the cloud computing as well. Therefore, you can receive is the environment in general or the cloud to provide access to Internet users. This is also one of the main features included in SharePoint 2010.

2. Communities:It is more of Social connections. You can connect to employee [colleague] or users through user profiles, my sites and people search. This way you are connected with others and share information very easily. Another thing in communities section is "Informal Knowledge". This includes tagging, rating and feedback features. For example, many users are searching for a common document then what we could do is, tag that document with relative keywords. So that it will come up in top search results. These way users get whatever they want very easily. Another option is rating. You can give rating to particular document or item.

3. Content:As discussed in previous sections of this SharePoint 2010 for the creation or content management is very easy with the new rich user interface and ribbon. This is very easy to find content on the site administrators and to make changes. You may feel that this is the same change of MS Office files like Word, Power Point in your browser. SharePoint 2010 is dominated by a huge and complex collection of metadata throughout the site with ease.

4. Search: Huhh!!! It is a very big improvement in SharePoint 2010 compared to previous version. The way the search improved is unbelievable and gives the exact search results what user is looking for. There are many ways how they improved search. Here are the main things:

Improved relevancy: Once the user must enter a search word SharePoint detects that the user attempts to try and give accurate results they are looking for.

Refinement & Related Searches: For each search word given it searches for the related keywords as well and give in the result set. If you search for John then it gives search results which has John on top and then Jon, Don etc after it. Because Jon matches with 3 letters Don matches 2 letters etc.

Wildcard search: This is what already known thing and not really need any special explanation

5. Insights: This essentially covers the business processes of an organization. The implementation of the perfect workflow. Improvements SharePoint Designer workflow and added many activities for the 2007 business designer. With them, we can solve many problems without writing custom code. And writing custom code that you can easily create your own activities. With these there are improvements to Excel Services and graphics. In this version of SharePoint, Visio Services. You can create a workflow in Visio, and import them directly into SharePoint. It is one of the most amazing this new version. The biggest advantage is who is good in Visio [I believe that a common person] have the opportunity to do things that will be useful in SharePoint.

6. Composites: This concept comes from the Mash-Ups. Pulling information from different data sources and combining it single place. So, we can achieve this in 4 different ways:

SharePoint designer 2010

Infopath 2010

Business Connectivity Services [BCS]

Access Services

So, finally in simple words we can say SharePoint is:

Quickly create and manage content in your organization

Collaborate in new and easy ways through social capabilities

Search helps to find easy and relevant content

Streamline the business process in organization

Visualize the information or huge data

For complete idea please take a look at this nice video.

I believe you understood briefly What is SharePoint. Before we end this concept lastly I want to mention, SharePoint 2010 is only supports 64-bit. [There is no 32-bit anymore. ]So, all the infrastructure and the software like [Windows Server 2008, Sql Server etc] should be 64-bit.
