Before you can start using SharePoint, you have to access the SharePoint site. The primary tools for accessing SharePoint are your web browser and Microsoft Office applications, such as Word, Excel® and PowerPoint®. In your work environment, your IT department or supervisor will provide you with information about how to access your company resources, including SharePoint sites. In order to get the most out of SharePoint as a user, you must understand the fundamental technologies and capabilities of SharePoint. C OLLABORATION T ECHNOLOGY Collaboration technology allows colleagues to effectively work together to achieve a common goal. Collaboration technologies store and provide centralized access to information such as documents, lists, media content, and other data that the team needs. In addition to providing centralized access to this information, it provides document management, integration with software applications, and tools used by team members, and other capabilities that make information sharing easier. Collaboration technologies are usually web-based and accessed on the corporate intranet or over the Internet.
