What is SharePoint?
“SharePoint 2010 makes it easier for people to work together.
Using SharePoint 2010, your people can set up Web sites to
share information with others, manage documents from start
to finish, and publish reports to help everyone make better
decisions.”

THE FLAVORS OF SHAREPOINT
The CFO had a “request”
I want to know where all of all of the leases around the globe
This required collaboration of 41 VPs and directors
SharePoint by fire, not the best approach
All executive had access to upload their files
The end result, all documents we uploaded to the site for
review by the CFO
No longer were documents in file shares, emails, flash drives,
and file drawers
The In-House Counsel stated “I love SharePoint!”
