About SharePoint

SharePoint is a collaboration system based on a website that contains functions such as workflow applications, list databases, and other web parts and security features. Generally, SharePoint can let business teams work together, which has increased working efficiency in companies.

Security controls, co-authoring, versioning, and integration with Exchange make business users improve their working efficiency and keep their work integrity. It is an indispensable tool for business users working with files.
