It is a website with a special framework and a rich set of features that allow people to share many different types of information easily. It allows coworkers to share documents much like server based file shares, but, because it is web-based, it offers many additional features. These features include the ability to have a team calendar or task list, rich viewing of media content such as videos, and version control for documents that are co-authored by multiple team members. SharePoint allows businesses to collaborate on documents and social networking, manage portals and websites, and provides content management, governance, and business intelligence analytical capabilities. In order to get the most out of SharePoint as a user, you must understand the fundamental technologies and capabilities of SharePoint.
