To overcome the high volume, velocity, and variety of data, content management systems usually focus on different sub-tasks, namely document management, web content management, digital asset management, and enterprise records management. As a leading enterprise CMS and all-around solution, SharePoint Server handles all of these sub-tasks using one system; however, the opportunities and limits of SharePoint are often unknown at the management level.
Many managers who decide to use SharePoint do not know how SharePoint can concretely help to improve their business and day-to-day operations. They are often overwhelmed with its functionalities.
