Microsoft Hosted Sharepoint 'the backbone of business'

Companies have been advised that embracing Microsoft Hosted Sharepoint applications can help improve business productivity and stability.

KM World has reported that the information architecture of the Sharepoint provides a range of lasting benefits to firms, with improved employee communication facilities, web content management and "business intelligence capabilities" among these.

Furthermore, Sharepoint allows a company to grow organically - rather than hierarchically - as content is stored on an SQL database, not in a file server, providing increased availability of data.

The website noted also that by embracing hosted exchange systems such as Microsoft Sharepoint, businesses are able to analyse content more thoroughly, pinpoint where high-priority information lies and how to access and manipulate this data.

Bjorn Furuknap, editor and author of Understanding Sharepoint Journal, recently said that Microsoft Hosted Sharepoint can help firms boost enterprise content management and enable them to become more responsive to their client's needs.
