The consolidation of business collaboration solutions onto SharePoint Server 2010 makes it possible to cut costs through lower training costs, increased IT productivity, and enterprise-wide management tools, all within a governable and compliant platform.Empower employees through access to information Self-publishing of content from any source allows you to scale information-sharing from the team to the entire enterprise. Empowering employees to manage portal content directly keeps information current and saves time and cost, and puts business people in control of business processes without the involvement of IT resources.Find the right content and expertise to increase productivity Because SharePoint Server 2010 can reach across SharePoint Foundation 2010 and other data repositories—including Lotus Notes—you can deliver the most relevant data no matter where it’s stored. Search is the dominant navigation tool used, and empowering information workers to find the right content or people with the right expertise more quickly leads to increased productivity and decreased redundancy.Connect people to enhance teamwork Social networking and people search in SharePoint Server 2010 allows employees to find and leverage the expertise of coworkers, amplifying the impact of each individual in the organization.
