SharePoint Server 2010
SharePoint Server 2010 is a Microsoft server technology that is used for creating internal and external collaboration web sites. It excels at the role of document managment, allowing users to store, search, edit and a collaborate on documents. But SharePoint is much more than just a document management system. When properly deployed SharePoint can be the hub of a small business business process. Take for example the process of onboarding an employee in your company; there are many steps that must be completed in a specific order: benefits need to be arranged, the employees needs to review and sign specific documents, policies and procedures must be communicated to the employee. This is an example of a process that can be standardized, automated, and replicated.
Dashboards
You may have many different applications that you use in your network on a daily basis: QuickBooks for accounting, a CRM package for sales and customer service, and a line of business application for your industry. A dashboard is a way of drawing from all of these systems and various other sources like Excel spread sheets and bringing the data that helps you to run your business into a single, easy to understand view.
