"The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined effort of each individual"
- Vince Lombardi
Collaboration portals enable organizations to capture the collective contribution of their employees and thereby increase the knowledge, quality and intellectual capital of the enterprise.
With the advent of SharePoint, the vision for sophisticated enterprise portals and collaboration has come to fruition. Portals consolidate information and provide access control for web-based applications throughout an organization. They support a consistent look and feel while, at the same time, facilitating customization for various subsidiaries/departments or focus areas of the company.
SharePoint's features including collaboration web parts, meeting workspaces, site & page management, document libraries, content and records management, publishing and content approval workflows, enterprise search, etc. are designed to engender both teamwork and the dissemination of enterprise knowledge.
