The article highlights a number of key messages about the journey that SharePoint has taken from a content collaboration solution to a solution that incorporates Portals, Search, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Content Management with a consistent management layer and flexible platform. Incorporating the cloud into this solutions enables greater collaboration, mobility and productivity as SharePoint and all Office technologies work together providing greater value & innovation to customers.
