Report: SharePoint 2010 offers exciting new options for IT professionals

4/28/2010 8:00 AM

A number of groundbreaking changes to Microsoft's SharePoint software were lauded in a recent report from Tech Target analyst Paul Galvin, who said that some of the upgrades were nothing short of "revolutionary."

The biggest step forward, Galvin wrote, is that "with SharePoint 2010, SharePoint administrators can now build real tools that are portable from one environment to the next. Now, business analysts and power users can actually design and implement their own tools from white board to production." This has the potential, he said, to pull a significant amount of workload from SharePoint developers.

Galvin praised a number of other, more minor changes present in SharePoint 2010, including easier access to permissions management, task creation, and metadata managed services. Additionally, Galvin said that the system now interacts more smoothly with other Microsoft products like SQL Server.

The democratizing of SharePoint's development capabilities in the 2010 version of the software could mean that SharePoint training is no longer important to just IT professionals, but to employees at many levels of the enterprise.
