SharePoint

Corporate document hub

SharePoint is Microsoft's web-based platform for document management and team collaboration within organizations.

It serves as an intranet where employees store files, share information, and coordinate projects.

SharePoint sites organize content by department or initiative: Check the HR SharePoint for the new policy.

The platform integrates with other Microsoft products and has become synonymous with corporate document repositories—often criticized for clunky navigation and search.
