Sharepoint 2010 Sites Features

SharePoint 2010 Sites: Collaborate Across Organizations

As part of the 2010 release, SharePoint Sites provides portal and collaboration capabilities across intranet, extranet, and Internet sites. SharePoint 2010 brings users together to share information, data, and expertise across organizations. It offers great usability, personalized experiences, and a single infrastructure that saves valuable time and dollars.

SharePoint Web Experience

The SharePoint UI was updated to make it simpler to access a growing range of tools. Highlights include incorporating the Office ribbon, in place web editing, AJAX responsiveness and richer navigation. The reach of SharePoint sites was expanded through multi-lingual support, improved accessibility including WCAG 2.0 support and cross-browser support built on XHTML compliance.

Office Client

Ongoing support to previous versions of Microsoft Office working against SharePoint 2010. Office 2010 enhances this with features like offline editing with asynchronous saves as well as exposing SharePoint features through the new Office Backstage UI. Via the Backstage, you can access the context around the document including tags, related tagging and people.

SharePoint Workspace

In this release, Groove has evolved and renamed as SharePoint Workspace which provides great local and offline read-write access to SharePoint lists and libraries. SharePoint Workspace has a consistent experience with Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 including the Office ribbon. It supports advanced features like bringing external business data offline and is smart about synching changes and not entire files.

Office Web Apps 

SharePoint 2010 is a great place to host the new Office Web Apps so you can view and update content from within a browser and include Office content as part of your web site (e.g. an Excel spreadsheet as part of “Sales Metrics Portal"). The Office Web Apps provide a familiar user experience, high fidelity viewing and essential editing without loss of data or formatting. They include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. The OneNote client and Web App support is one of the coolest features of the release to enable multiple people to collaborate on a rich canvas online or offline. In addition to the Office Web Apps, InfoPath Forms Services was updated  and Excel Services and added, new for 2010, Visio and Access Services.

SharePoint Mobile Access

Improved mobile web browsers and a new SharePoint Workspace Mobile client so you can take Office content from SharePoint offline on a Windows Mobile device. These clients let you navigate lists and libraries, search content and people and even view and edit Office content within the Office Web App experience running on a mobile browser.
