Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010 provide
a collection of tools and services you can use to improve user and team
productivity, make information sharing more effective, and facilitate
business decision-making processes. In order to get the most out of
SharePoint 2010, you need to understand how to best use the capabilities
to support your information management, collaboration, and business
process management needs.
This book is designed to provide you with the information you need to
effectively use these tools. Whether you are using SharePoint as an
intranet or business solution platform, you will learn how to use the
resources (such as lists, libraries, and sites) and services (such as
publishing, workflow, and policies) that make up these environments.
Information and process owners will be given the knowledge they need to
build and manage solutions. Information and process consumers will be
given the knowledge they need to effectively use SharePoint resources.
In this book, Seth Bates and Tony Smith walk you through the
components and capabilities that make up a SharePoint 2010 environment.
Their expertise shines as they provide step-by-step instructions for
using and managing these elements, as well as recommendations for how to
best leverage them. As a reader, you'll then embrace two common
SharePoint uses, document management and project information management,
and walk through creating samples of these solutions, understanding the
challenges these solutions are designed to address and the benefits they
can provide.
The authors have brought together this information based on their
extensive experience working with these tools and with business users
who effectively leverage these technologies within their organizations.
These experiences were incorporated into the writing of this book to
make it easy for you to gain the knowledge you need to make the most of
the product.
