document management/transmittal systems
SharePoint is gaining much regard in the corporate world. Being able to file documents, emails and images to a centrally managed data warehouse; restricting user access via active directory and tagging files with meta-data for fast search and retrieval are just a few of the benefits of SharePoint.
Where SharePoint does not have a feature a company may require, SharePoint allows for developers to create add-ons that integrate with SharePoint. Add-ons such as document transmittal and email filing direct from Outlook. Designed right, these add-ons can benefit companies by mirroring and automating unique and successful processes within a business instead of forcing change that may disadvantage a company.
