Hosted SharePoint - Your business portal
SharePoint is the "fastest selling Microsoft server product ever", according to Bill Gates; but it is notoriously difficult to configure and deploy, which is why organisations are turning to hosted service providers.
SharePoint according to Microsoft
The following two paragraphs are taken from the official Microsoft Office SharePoint Server product information page:
"Your organization can use Office SharePoint Server 2007 to facilitate collaboration, provide content management features, implement business processes, and supply access to information that is essential to organizational goals and processes.
"You can quickly create SharePoint sites that support specific content publishing, content management, records management, or business intelligence needs. You can also conduct effective searches for people, documents, and data, participate in forms-driven business processes, and access and analyze large amounts of business data."
