The capabilities of SharePoint 2010 work together to help your company quickly respond to changing business needs. With SharePoint 2010, you can share ideas and expertise, create custom solutions for specific needs, and find the right business information to make better decisions. Many of you may still be working with 2007, and do not have insight into the new enhancements of 2010. Let’s take a look at 5 of the top new features of SharePoint 2010:
1. Enhanced SharePoint Designer—Microsoft SharePoint Designer 2010 sports a new UI, improved workflow, and improved integration between designers. SharePoint 2010 has a number of new objects and methods that can help developers to write code better. SharePoint is based on the .NET Framework 3.5 and not 2.0 and is a 64-bit application.
2. More Collaboration Features—SharePoint 2010 supports tagging content as well as providing enhanced blog authoring capabilities. There’s a new group verification feature that’s based on distribution list or organization. In addition, calendars from Microsoft Exchange Server can be merged with SharePoint calendars.
3. Extensive Reporting—SharePoint 2010 includes a new database designed to support usage reporting and logging. The usage database is extensible, allowing third-party vendors to create custom reports based on the information it contains.
4. Compliance Capabilities— Manage versions, apply retention schedules, declare records, and place legal holds, whether you’re dealing with traditional content, Web content, or social content.
5. Contextual Search— Use the new refinement panel in SharePoint 2010 to narrow the results of your search and find the right content faster. SharePoint 2010 incorporates a superset of the original SharePoint search capabilities. It supports a number of enhanced capabilities, including a content-processing pipeline, metadata extraction, visual search, and advanced linguistics.
