Microsoft SharePoint Basics

Would you like to gain a basic overview of SharePoint or maybe learn how your business can benefit from adopting the new platform?

What is Sharepoint? SharePoint is a Web-based collaboration tool which allows information sharing and document collaboration. SharePoint lets you create a central location where everyone can share documents, issues, contacts, announcements, Web links, and calendars. Team members can easily create workspaces for meeting discussions, surveys, documents, task lists, and other collaboration needs that increase their productivity.

SharePoint is an extremely customisable tool, so why not arrange a consultation with us prior to the course so that we can cover the topics that you are most interested to learn about.
