Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 is the business collaboration platform for the enterprise. Connect people with colleagues and information through communities, so they can share knowledge and ideas. Manage and govern enterprise content while balancing user experience with policy and process. Respond to changing business needs by making data-driven decisions. Help users find the content, information, and people they need with enterprise search.

Collaboration
End users can create content from their preferred web browser or from desktop applications such as Microsoft Word. Automated versioning and workflows, document check-out, and sophisticated access controls help teams work on shared documents with minimal confusion and misunderstanding.
Enterprise Content Management
Organizations can manage their content through the entire content life cycle — from creation through editing, collaboration, and approval, to long-term retention or final expiration — on a single unified platform. SharePoint can also help implement and automate compliance with information management and data security policies.
Enterprise Search
The search infrastructure combines federated search, relevance, refinement, and social cues to speed up search and help people find the information and contacts they need.
Organizations can build and maintain multiple content portals on a single SharePoint installation, with each portal customized for a particular business activity or organizational stakeholder. For example, an organization could build an enterprise intranet portal for all employees and a divisional portal site for particular departments.
The consolidation of collaboration solutions onto SharePoint 2010 makes it possible to cut costs by lowering training and maintenance expenses and increasing IT productivity.
