SharePoint is a Microsoft technology that enables content management and file sharing between users. Unlike file servers where file management is very flat, SharePoint utilizes browsers to store all the files on a centralized web location which is easily accessible by any computer by entering the site URL in an internet browser as well as the appropriate login credentials. Microsoft Office is integrated with SharePoint. This greatly assists users in viewing and editing files directly in the browser.
