However SharePoint is a large and versatile software system that can be configured with a number of possible uses. SharePoint is designed around a central application platform for common enterprise web requirements, allowing for the detailed management and provision of websites and associated technologies.
For example, some of the things that can be managed easily through MS SharePoint include websites, intranet portals, extranets, documents, files, social media tools, virtual collaboration spaces, enterprise search tools, business intelligence networks, process integration, systems integration, workflow automation, and the detailed development of third party infrastructure solutions. SharePoint is used by thousands of people all over the world, and along with software like Navision, it has become a central tool for many businesses throughout a range of industries.

MS SharePoint is capable of a variety of functions, and is therefore capable or supporting a range of businesses and organisations. There are a few different versions of MS SharePoint available to use, including a simple and free version called SharePoint Foundation and a range or premium editions with added functionality. Multiple organisations can connect through a SharePoint server farm, as well as through the increasing range of MS cloud computing services. Cloud computing is becoming a more important force in project and enterprise management all the time, and SharePoint as a service is offered as part of the MS Office 365 platform. In addition to the variety of versions being offered by Microsoft, MS SharePoint is also being offered as a cloud solution by a number of third party vendors. In order to understand exactly what SharePoint is and what it does, it is necessary to have a basic understanding of what Microsoft refer to as the SharePoint wheel.

Microsoft often refer to the SharePoint wheel as a way to describe the functionality of SharePoint, with six abstract capabilities used to refer to the wide range of functionality. The first capability on the wheel is called Sites, due to its ability to enable the provision of sites without specialised knowledge. The second point on the wheel is Communities, which SharePoint supports through a variety of structures. Some of these structures include teams, projects, and clients. The other key points in the SharePoint wheel are Content, Search, Insights, and Composites, each of which defines a different aspect of using MS SharePoint as a project management solution.
