In today’s information economy, it is critical to have a communication and collaboration solution like
Microsoft SharePoint to enable people to work better together efficiently. Now you can do so without
investing in a huge technology infrastructure. That’s one reason organizations both large and small are
turning to Microsoft SharePoint® Online, a hosted cloud computing solution. SharePoint Online provides a
single, integrated location where employees can efficiently collaborate with team members, find organizational
resources, search for information, manage content and workflow, and leverage business insight to make
better-informed decisions.
Based on Office SharePoint Server 2007, this hosted solution enables employees to easily create and manage
custom team and project-focused sites for collaboration, including security-enhanced document sharing.
Users get the flexibility and customization they need. Cognitive Technologies configures and customizes your
sites. And Microsoft hosts the application and provides the ongoing maintenance and upgrades of your Office
SharePoint Server infrastructure.
How it Works
SharePoint Online helps simplify IT management by removing a company’s need to deploy, configure, monitor
and upgrade a collaboration solution on premises. From the Microsoft Online Administration Center, service
administrators create new site collections and enable access for specific users. Cognitive Technologies applies
our expertise to configure and customize your sites to meet the needs of your business and users. We also can
provide training and job aids to help users succeed. With SharePoint Online and Cognitive Technologies, your
enterprise can be up and running quickly with the tools your users need to communicate and collaborate effectively.
