SharePoint vs. Public Folders. And the Winner Is...
Finding the best ways to collaborate can be your key to corporate productivity and efficiency and, as a result, increased profitability and success. Among the leading corporate collaboration tools, Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Exchange Server public folders have become the most popular. In this article, we will discuss some of the differences between Windows SharePoint Services and public folders.
Many companies that use hosted or in-house Microsoft Exchange Server also utilize Exchange public folders for collaboration on documents and files. However, according to Microsoft, public folders may not be included in the next major release of Exchange, which means that businesses currently relying on public folders will need to re-evaluate their collaboration solution in the future. There are many advantages in moving to hosted Windows SharePoint Services for your collaboration, content management and business process needs.
