SharePoint Solutions 2013

Since its launch, SharePoint 2013 has been touted as one of Microsoft’s biggest releases ever. That’s great for new users, but what about its cousin version – SharePoint 2010, which most people have embraced and appreciated? Is SharePoint 2013 better than SharePoint 2010? Is it time for an upgrade? Read on, you’ll find the answers.

Recently, we got a chance to review SharePoint 2013. After having reviewed it, we unearthed some really interesting points about SharePoint 2013. We’d like to discuss it in this post:

One great thing about SharePoint 2013 is, it brings to the table some wonderful features of SharePoint 2010, plus some exciting extras too. The following are the existing features that have been retained from SharePoint 2010: Access Services, Search Services, Excel Services, User Profile Service, Performance Point Services, InfoPath Forms Services, and Business Connectivity Services.

We are sure these are the features you’d have liked in SharePoint 2010, but just imagine – your most-liked features getting some bang-up upgrades in terms of functionality and usability. That is what SharePoint 2013 promises. For instance, there is an enhanced analytics service which lets users create and maintain custom reporting – imagine this feature spreading to the mobile and tablet devices. This is our speculation, by the way but is more likely to happen in the near term.

The expanded services are top class – there is a bunch of expansion, which includes Education Services, Translation Services, Work Management Service, Content Management Service, Workflow Services, and more.

Honestly, we felt a feature like SharePoint Education could be a pretty handy component for people in the education industry. And there are some great check-outs for people in the other sectors as well.

Our Verdict: If you are looking for the best of SharePoint solutions, you got to have SharePoint 2013!
