Can someone tell me breifly how sharepoint works? [closed]

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. Closed 12 years ago.

I have been trying to find a simple answer for a while now but I can't seem to get a direct answer?! Can开发者_如何学编程 someone please put it into simple terms? Thanks it would be much appreciated

SharePoint is a content management system (CMS) build with an ASP.NET front end, and an XML based backend running on IIS and SQL Server.

Sharepoint is just a one stop shop portal. It allows you to manage documents, provide workflow, and collaboration. It even can be built to work like a CRM system, especially the 2010 version which is .net based.

All in all it is a good intranet tool for a company big or small. It can handle documents and provide information like when the document was updated, what was updated, checking in / out documents.

It also allows you to post notes, reminders, notifications for company wide functional groups. You can strict it to be departmental. It is a monster that is based on a SQL SERVER backend with some notorious tables. You can build lists of any sort, import Excel data, and create performance indicators for things like reports or management content.

Just a very large CMS (can be CRM) / Document Mgmt / Anything embedded from .net system.
