Why SharePoint Online

SharePoint Online helps simplify IT management by removing a company’s need to deploy, configure, monitor and update/upgrade a collaboration solution on premises. From the Microsoft Online Administration Center, service administrators can create new site collections and sites, and enable access to specific users. With SharePoint Online, your enterprise can be up and running quickly with the tools your users need to communicate and collaborate effectively.   SharePoint Online offers you a comprehensive set of functionality spread across the Portal, Collaboration, Search, Content Management and Business Process and Forms workloads. Key features include:  

• Shared document and meeting workspaces
• Content management features for documents and Web content
• Document libraries with version control
• Seamless integration with Microsoft Office 2007 and Office SharePoint Designer
• Standard templates including wikis, blogs, and surveys
• E-mail alerts when documents or other items have been changed or added to a site
• RSS feeds for SharePoint libraries and lists
• Low-cost user licenses for “deskless workers” who use a PC on a limited basis  
• Language support for English, French, German, Spanish, and Japanese
• Use of HTTPS to help keep Internet access secure
• Antivirus scanning with Microsoft Forefrontâ„¢ Security for SharePoint  
•  Sign In application that provides single sign-on capability

1. Large Lists and Libraries – Microsoft have made architecture and user experience investments so you have much larger document libraries with metadata driven navigation to help users go quickly to the content that is most important to them. Libraries will scale to tens of millions and archives to hundreds of millions of documents. This is a key investment for high-end document and records management but also helps organizations with lots of smaller sites. Microsoft have enhanced the workflow capabilities and tools in SharePoint Designer.
2. Enterprise Metadata – Microsoft are addressing the feedback to support content types and taxonomies across not only across sites but also server farms. Theyhave made applying this metadata easy (and valuable to users) in both the SharePoint and Office client user experience. The top-down taxonomy and bottoms-up social tagging (sometimes called folksonomy) combine to help improve search, navigation and people connections.
3. Document Sets – Microsoft are introducing a way to manage a collection of documents as a single object for workflow, metadata, etc. within SharePoint and Office so experience more closely models your work product (e.g. a proposal that may contain a presentation, budget, contract, etc.).
4. Web Publishing including Digital Asset Management – Microsoft have made a number of key improvements to make it easier to publish rich sites on the intranet or internet. They used the new browser ribbon and editor experience to speed site customization, content authoring and publishing tasks. Microsoft added digital asset management features like thumbnails, metadata and ratings for images as well as video streaming from SharePoint. Finally, they have improved content deployment robustness from authoring to production for larger scale sites.
5. Governance and Records Management – Compliance is an increasingly important requirement for organizations. Microsoft have enhanced the Records Managements features in 2010 building on the scalable storage and enterprise metadata support described above. They have improved the sophistication and flexibility of the governance tools. Just a few new features include location-based file plans, multi-stage dispositions, in-place records and e-discovery.
