SharePoint enables information workers who have no knowledge of website design or website administration to create, almost instantly, attractive and functioning websites. This is by the SharePoint features that allows delegated administration. This relieves IT departments from the burden of creating and administering the sites, and it empowers the Info Workers to create their own sites for teams, blogs, wikis, and other purposes. SharePoint provides a platform on which Info Workers can create collaboration solutions that include document libraries and workspaces, workflows, wikis, blogs, and team-oriented lists, such as Events, Announcements, and Tasks. Microsoft SharePoint Workspace provides an offline experience for these collaboration solutions.
SharePoint also allows Business processes to be systematized and modeled with workflows that are triggered by associated events; for example, the addition of a document to a document library. SharePoint Server Enterprise Content Management (ECM) features include document management, records management, and web content management. The Microsoft Business Connectivity Services (BCS) features of SharePoint enable data from non-SharePoint sources, such as a SAP installation or Oracle database, to be accessed (read/write) just as if it were an ordinary SharePoint list.
SharePoint can provide an intranet system with many of the functions that an operating system provides for a computer, including storing and copying files, hosting services, starting applications, and securing data. SharePoint can also host extranet and Internet-facing solutions. SharePoint deployments make data available through a client object model, the REST-based Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Data Services (formerly ADO.NET Data Services), and many out-of-the-box ASMX web services. In addition, the SharePoint Service Application Framework provides a platform that enables developers to build scalable middle-tier services that can provide data or processing resources to other SharePoint features.
SharePoint stores data as multicolumn lists in a Microsoft SQL Server database. You can query the data by using LINQ and also using Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML). The data can be mirrored, backed up, restored, and, depending on the edition of SQL Server being used, you may be able to take snapshots of the data store. Besides its native UI of webpages (including special versions for mobile devices), which can contain ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript), SharePoint also supports access from Microsoft Silverlight applications and the Microsoft SharePoint Workspace client application. With the SharePoint client object model, you can access SharePoint using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, or any other managed code application.
