Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Standard Edition (Includes Software Assurance)

Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Standard Edition includes the following functionality groupings:

• Collaboration: End users can create content from their preferred web browser or from desktop applications such as Microsoft Word. Automated versioning and workflows, document check-out, and sophisticated access controls help teams work on shared documents with minimal confusion and misunderstanding.
• Enterprise Content Management: Organisations can manage their content through the entire content life cycle - from creation through editing, collaboration, and approval, to long-term retention or final expiration - on a single unified platform. Microsoft SharePoint can also help implement and automate compliance with information management and data security policies.
• Enterprise Search: The search infrastructure combines federated search, relevance, refinement, and social cues to speed up search and help people find the information and contacts they need.
• Portals: Organisations can build and maintain multiple content portals on a single Microsoft SharePoint installation, with each portal customized for a particular business activity or organisational stakeholder. For example, an organisation could build an enterprise intranet portal for all employees and a divisional portal site for particular departments.

Service Pack 1 includes new and previously released security, performance, and stability updates for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010, including support for Microsoft SQL Server 2011.
