Share documents, and do more, with Microsoft SharePoint 2010.

If your business needs to store documents in the cloud and provide controlled access to information both in and out of the office, then Microsoft SharePoint provides the tools you need.

What is SharePoint 2010?

Starting with the basics, Microsoft SharePoint provides online cloud storage for your organisation. Business documents, HR policies, sales brochures, customer quotes, any information that your company needs can be securely stored online and is available at any time from any location.

Access to information can be restricted (so, for example, sensitive financial records aren't available to the whole organisation) and documents can be edited using the standard Microsoft Office application suite as easily as if they were stored on your own PC.

Using cloud storage, rather than keeping files locally, means business information is available everywhere and accessible via any modern web browser. Field sales teams can show off the latest product brochures without the cost of printing, remote workers can access the latest versions of documents, telephone advisors can access relevant support information whilst on a call.

Doing more with SharePoint.

Cloud storage is just the beginning of what Microsoft SharePoint can achieve for your business. Advanced features include project management, company intranets, dynamic websites, team collaboration tools. A full list of features is available on the next page.

Simply Mail Solutions SharePoint.

We offer three levels of SharePoint. Starting with a starter package for you to see if SharePoint is right for you, up to our top-level package with 25GB of shared storage (and more available for an extra charge).

We charge for SharePoint per domain, not per user, with storage shared between everyone. As SharePoint is connected to a Microsoft Exchange account, it is necessary for users to have an SMS hosted Exchange mailbox.

Here are some of the many benefits of using a hosted SharePoint solution: :-

  • improved team productivity: SharePoint 2010 Foundation helps you to connect your people with the information and documents they actually need for their business to make informed decisions and to get the job done. Users can create workspace, coordinate work schedules, share documents, track tasks and receive important notifications and can plan their business days accordingly. Users on the move can take advantage of offline synchronisation capabilites.

  • document management to ensure content integrety: with enhanced document management capabilities including the option to activate required document checkout before editing, the ability to view revisions to documents and restore to previous versions, and the control to set document- and item-level security, SharePoint 2010 Foundation can help ensure the integrity of documents stored on team sites.

  • greater control over business critical resources: SharePoint provides IT departments with advanced administrative controls for increasing the security of information resources as permissions can be set as deep down as the document or item level, and site managers, teams, and other work groups can initiate their own self-service workspaces and tasks within these preset parameters.

  • robust storage capabilities: with SharePoint you can provide a more robust document storage environment with document storage, retrieval and version-control features that are built in to the team work spaces.

  • a collaboration environment quickly and easily set-up with minimal training requirements for users: SharePoint enables IT departments to deploy a scalable collaborative environment with minimal administrative time and effort. Since SharePoint integrates with familiar productivity tools, including programs in the Microsoft Office system users can easily get up to speed and little training is required to introduce this collaboration platform in the day to day business operations.
