The Elephant Named Sharepoint

Many of us have heard the fable about the blind men and the elephant. When the men were asked to describe what an elephant looked like the descriptions ranged from a snake to a tree to a fan depending on whether the blind man had touched the trunk, the leg or the ear. What does an ancient fable like this have to do with technology? It’s the same problem we have when we try to explain to you how useful a tool Microsoft SharePoint can be to your business. SharePoint is so flexible and has so many uses; we often have trouble describing it in a way you can get the whole picture.

So, here goes our description of SharePoint.  It’s:

• A shared company calendar that everyone can access
• An electronic bulletin board where you post notices for the whole company
• Your own company library for forms and policies
• A photo album for your digital images
• An electronic water cooler for company discussions
• A lock box for sensitive company information
• A shared web page of your company’s most used links
• A piece of useful technology for the distinctly untechnical
• And much, much more

The good news is that many of you have SharePoint available for use today if you are using Microsoft Server 2003 or Small Business Server. All that you may need is our help in getting started. We’re ready with a special startup package with special pricing. Contact us today to find out how you can tame an elephant — one piece at a time.
