SharePoint Demands Performance and Scalability

By Iqbal Khan

SharePoint has become an extremely popular Microsoft product. As is well known, it's a portal platform and provides a great number of needed applications for collaboration among different company groups or even between different companies. It also includes process management, document management and other major applications, all part of SharePoint's array of features.

It allows you to develop other applications, as well, either extensions of these applications or completely new applications in the SharePoint platform. The goal is to allow you to rapidly develop a new application without having to start everything from scratch.

Its popularity has grown to the point that companies are standardizing their enterprise portal strategies on SharePoint. They use it as the basis for developing their interactive applications, especially if they have to be content- or document-rich or more collaborative. Those applications can be easily developed in SharePoint for internal or external use.
