ShareWhat, you say? SharePoint is the server-side connective tissue that binds the slippery client-side outputs of office workers into a manageable, searchable, and accessible information environment. Gone are the days when workers just organized their files in electronic folders and had to call the help desk every time something was deleted accidentally. SharePoint provides a self-service environment where office workers can take control of information - how it’s organized, who gets access to it, and how it’s displayed.
Don’t feel bad if you don’t know SharePoint from Shinola. You aren’t alone. Many obstacles are along the path to a successful SharePoint implementation. This book uses plain English to get you started on your SharePoint journey so that nothing trips you up along the way.
