What Is Sharepoint Manager?
Microsoft SharePoint Services is an intranet solution for medium or large businesses. The software lets users share documents and set up forums and chat sessions, and offers time management for managers and business owners. It also enables customization of the interface, so developers can create customized apps for a company's managers and employees.

Purpose
-
The purpose of Microsoft SharePoint is to allow managers to keep track of documents, time sheets and employee requirements. It also helps employees share documents and keep track of management paperwork. For example, an employee fills out a time sheet or status sheet and submits it on the Sharepoint server. The server allows only the manager to review and download the employee's information.
Communication
-
Microsoft SharePoint improves communication, especially among users in separate offices. The intranet service provides chat services and forums, so employees located in other countries, other states, or just in another office can easily communicate without having to use external chat services.

Importance
-
The paperwork, machines, file systems, servers and software needed for employee communication are a large expense for companies, especially those with hundreds or thousands of employees. SharePoint service installs on one server and lets any employee or manager access its services. Managers control who can access the server, and each department is represented.
Considerations
-
Microsoft SharePoint services also allow custom software upgrades, and developers can add modules to the software using the .NET framework. The modules let you expand the services on your server. For example, a developer can customize a filing service for status sheets and parse the information directly for managers to view in their email.
