101 – The Basics:What is this thing called ‘SharePoint’?
Abstract SharePoint has too many capabilities,
features and use-cases to explain as an elevator pitch, so we’ll take a little more time and give you an overview of SharePoint: the product, the platform, the tool for users. If you’re new to SharePoint, this session will prepare you to continue digging into the platform by understanding basic terms and concepts by describing what it can do and several ways that it can be implemented as part of your web strategy.

Insights
SharePoint Key Concepts Modular and scalable system Acts a repository Storing and
managing content (documents, web)
Accessing content from other systems (data, web services)
Provides a secure environment for users and content
Can be customized / configured (layout, look and feel, functionality) to meet many different scenarios
All accessed via a browser… primarily
‘Crawl, Walk, Run’ Approach The quickest way to failure with SharePoint
as a platform is to try to do too much, too quickly.
Understand the platform and effectively utilize out of the box capabilities
Add more solutions, capabilities, users, etc. with a measured approach
‘SharePoint’ Actually refers to a number of products or
technologies: SharePoint Foundation 2010 SharePoint Server 2010 SharePoint Online SharePoint Designer 2010 SharePoint Workspace
A Few Background Items… SharePoint Buzzwords… You’re going to
encounter these: ‘Governance’ ‘User Adoption’ ‘Social’
