2 – Knowledge, … available to all people
The new version of the collaboration platform introduces the concept of community, a place where people can discuss your business and collaborate socially through microbloging walls (a la Facebook) and with some additional features such as management the reputation of people.

As I have discussed in previous post, the acquisition of Yammer, the enterprise social network from Microsoft, also reinforces social capabilities of the platform.

The new capabilities of SharePoint facilitate the organization of work through unified view schedules, project deadlines and task lists, easy to manage and administer the whole team. The platform also offers the ability to sync tasks with Microsoft Project and Outlook.
