1. Why SharePoint need for Small Businesses
Small companies have found large gains in the use of SharePoint to address specific
business problems with measurable results. In many cases the free version of the software
(WSS) is sufficient to provide enormous value, and therefore the cost is very reasonable
for the tightest of budgets.
The key, of course, is to have an interactive approach and ensure that each version solves
a specific business problem and urgent. Here are 5 typical small enterprise SharePoint
solutions.
Information Distribution
Small businesses find documents and information that is common to all employees or
employee groups. Make this content "Self-service", sending the intranet site.
 Human Resources documents - manuals, employee vacation request forms,
employee contact lists, emergency contact lists, etc.
 The files of clients - current contracts, contact information, meeting notes, forms,
costs, etc.
 File Operations - reports, accounting files, procedures, contact lists from your
suppliers, etc.
Document Management
Several document management systems can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and
required hours of training to understand. SharePoint is a great result for small business
document management they need, but I do not care to spend and arm and a leg.
 Version manage - Go straight that he made changes and when. Rolling back to
previous versions, and undo the changes.
 Document safety - Limit access to certain documents and monitoring that has
been opened or modified a document.
 Document relationship - Organize the process of several persons involved in the
same document.

2.  Authorization of documents - Send documents for review or approval by other
users.
Project Management
Most project organization programs are designed for large projects with lots of
interworking parts. Small businesses often have the different, many small projects and
there is no way to organize diverse. If 10 people are working on 20 projects, then who is
doing what and when they are doing?
Although Microsoft SharePoint is not a good fit to manage a large project for a large
company, he does very well with small projects. The program can produce simple
graphics Gant, creating collaborative virtual workspaces, organize calendars (that
integrate with Microsoft Outlook), and generally keep track of all the balls in the air.
Collaboration
Microsoft SharePoint is probably best known as shared software. Users can share ideas
about the meetings, documents, events, contacts, and indeed all content that fits on the
site.
In a small company, each employee is proportionally much more significant for the
company, and is usually filled with multiple rolls. If the employee leaves for any reason,
the loss of their knowledge can be overwhelming. Microsoft SharePoint is a way for
people to share their experience with the rest of the company.
The value of a SharePoint site can easily extend into a key supplier, supplier or customer.
Collaborate, manage projects, document management, and distributing reports and other
information through a Microsoft SharePoint site.
If the site allows access to users outside your network, under certain, security and
supporting considerations have to be done, but in a incomplete application, this can be a
very effective way of working with other companies and individuals that are most
important for business to find success.
