Top Business Reasons to Deploy Hosted SharePoint

1. Hosted SharePoint takes file sharing to a new level.
   Instead of just dumping files into directories, Hosted SharePoint supplies Web sites with document storage and retrieval with check-in and check-out functionality, version history, custom metadata, and flexible, customizable views. Users can find and share data, with the added assurance that data will not be lost.
   
   
2. You can share many kinds of information.
   SharePoint sites store event calendars, contacts, Web links, discussions, issues lists, announcements, and much more. By using Hosted SharePoint, you can create smart places that help your users share information and get work done, not just a place to save files.
   
   
3. Users get the authority, flexibility, and customization they need.
   You can grant users the ability to create sites, allow them to control site membership, monitor site usage directly, and moderate content submissions. Users can even create site templates and share them with one another, reusing customized, proven site solutions.
   
   
4. IT gets the management tools it needs.
   Despite the authority delegated to users, Hosted SharePoint also enables you to track which sites are created, who owns them, how long a site has gone unused, and so on. You can enforce quotas for sites, users, and storage; block users from adding specific file types to sites; and automatically delete sites that are unused for long periods of time.
   
   
5. Hosted SharePoint has a number of pre-made application templates.
   You can deploy Hosted SharePoint in any way that works best for your organization. 123Together.com provides you with the option to use application templates to speed up the process of integrating SharePoint into your workflow. All templates provided are fully customizable.
   
   
6. If you want to start small, Hosted SharePoint from 123Together.com will meet your needs and grow with you.
   Despite the fact that it was engineered to scale to large enterprise deployments, Hosted SharePoint is perfect for small business, departmental, or pilot environments. 123Together.com's flexible pricing makes it easy for you to start with small deployments and scale upwards as you see fit.
   
   
7. You can enhance your SharePoint sites using Web Parts.
   Site owners and users can add the Web Parts you provide to their site pages, adding new features to the sites they already use. ASP.NET developers can write Web Parts to provide data access, Web services, and many other applications and content to SharePoint sites.
   
   
8. You can manage Microsoft SharePoint the way you want.
   You can manage and configure Hosted SharePoint from day one by using a Web browser or command-line utilities. This makes possible an unlimited number of customizable solutions. Hosted SharePoint will adjust to your work flow so you will not have to make any changes in your daily business operations to accommodate SharePoint.
   
   
9. You can use Microsoft Office as a powerful set of collaboration tools.
   Thanks to the Web services provided by Hosted SharePoint, programs in the Microsoft Office System - including Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Microsoft Office InfoPath, and Microsoft Office OneNote - can use information in SharePoint sites natively. Programs in the Microsoft Office System allow users to add members to sites, assign tasks, and communicate with members both by email or in real time by using online presence, all while working on documents stored in SharePoint sites. With Microsoft Office Outlook, users can view calendars and contact lists stored on SharePoint sites and can create and manage sites devoted to editing documents and organizing meetings.
   
   
10. Easy implementation of blogs and wikis.
    Provide creative forums for brainstorming ideas, building knowledge bases, or simply gathering information in an easy-to-edit format with new templates for implementing blogs (also known as weblogs) and wikis (Web sites that can be quickly edited by team members-no special technical knowledge required).
