SharePoint Features |
| 1.
Sandbox Solutions - You
can deploy sandboxed solutions
to quickly and more securely solve
business problems. Sandboxed solutions
are like farm solutions except
in the following ways: they are
rights-restricted and have a more
permissive deployment policy than
farm solutions; they are limited
to the site collection to which
they are deployed; and their server
resource usage is monitored against
an administrator-controlled quota
for the site collection. |
| 2.
Business Connectivity Services,
is a set of services and features
that provide a way to connect
SharePoint-based solutions to
sources of external data and to
define external content types
based on that external data. |
| 3.
Meeting Workspace - Send
notices, invites, alerts, and
set up a workspace to hold a meeting,
attach documents, and list contacts.
Bring your entire team together
online, no matter where they are
located. |

Event Calendars - Keep
track of all the dates and times
of your events in one location.
With the shared calendar everyone's
availability is up to date. You
can also assign permissions and
share access to your personal
calendar with colleagues. Whether
oversees or over the cubicle,
you know what's happening and
when. |
| 5.
Contact Lists - Store
all of your team's information

central location. |
