Hello! I have created this presentation, specifically for business decision makers to help them get an overview of Microsoft SharePoint, as a platform. I have come across a lot of people who have heard about SharePoint, but don't really understand the business process mapping that can be created using this. The entire objective of this presentation is to create a start point for all the decision makers and help them in evaluating this platform. I am not a techie by profession and so, I have tried to deliberately keep the language in this presentation very simple. The content of this presentation is based on the experience that I have gathered by strategizing and implementing various SharePoint based solutions in the last 8 years. Your feedback and suggestions to this presentation are most welcome. thank you, AK
