Lack of Web Interface = local silos
Locally-stored content = risk of lost content
Inability to find content and people
Difficult sharing knowledge internally and externally
No unified development platform

INTRODUCTION TO SHAREPOINT
Collaboration
Team members need to work together
To share knowledge
To find information
To make changes to shared content
To publish their work
Today’s workforce is increasingly global
Need information management tools like versioning, offline access,
Security is a concern when making information available on the web
Team members need to find each other’s work (even if they don’t know it exists)
Latest collaboration trends must be available
Wikis, Blogs, Discussion boards, Chat programs, lists
There needs to be a historical record of the team’s work

Unified Development Platform
Consistent set of technologies built to work together
More stability and testing
Increased support
Lower training costs for users AND developers
Faster solution development = 80% of functionality already exists

SharePoint as an Ecosystem = Incentives
Microsoft has incentive to make its products talk to (or build upon) SharePoint
Vendors have incentive to build integration into their products
Community has incentive to improve and share features
Clients have incentive to strategically invest in SharePoint
