Microsoft SharePoint is an integrated suite of server capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management and enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across boundaries for better business insight. SharePoint Server 2007 supports all intranet, extranet, and Web applications across an enterprise within one integrated platform, instead of relying on separate fragmented systems. In addition to that, SharePoint Server 2007 provides platform and tools needed for server administration, application extensibility, and interoperability.

Ashish Gupta- Director explained 'Microsoft SharePoint 2007 helps organizations get more done by providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes. Ushering in a new era of operational platform, this technology will enable a new generation of capabilities for information workers - but without a good partner with the experience and expertise to manage an implementation effectively, the complete potential of SharePoint may not be realized. e-Zest helps you reap all benefits offered by SharePoint 2007 by becoming your strategic partner in SharePoint implementation and customization initiatives.'
