Some of the key benefits of SharePoint Services include:
Team Community: SharePoint sites provide places to capture and share ideas, information, communication, and documents. The sites facilitate team participation in discussions, shared document collaboration, and surveys. Site content is accessible from both a Web browser and through clients that support Web Services. The document collaboration features allow for easy check in, check out and document version control.
Individual Empowerment and Management: SharePoint site members can find and communicate with key contacts and experts, both by e-mail and with instant messaging. Site content can be easily searched, and users can also receive alerts to tell them when existing documents and information has been changed, or when new information or documents have been added. Site content and layout can be personalized on a per-user basis and Web Parts can be used to present targeted information to specific users on precise topics.
