Microsoft's SharePoint is a seasoned collaboration platform that brings teams, communities, and small and large organizations together. The platform helps these groups to work together, streamline workloads, and manage time, documents, and other resources by the integration of Microsoft Office and Workflow to enhance business processes. The product is available for on premise installations and has many purchase options for the cloud. 

SharePoint centralizes an organization's content and supports many types of authentication method. Securing and sharing content within the platform is easy and SharePoint provides you with other features to secure content on deeper levels to provide policy-driven security.

This course was created as part of a thought process based on real-world experiences, best practices, and taking those experiences out in the field. It provides you with information on gaps and missed areas found in those visits when working with customers to help them revive a broken farm or deploy a successful SharePoint platform. We took this approach so that the level of understanding and learning you'll gain will support many in-place and future deployments.
