Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform primarily used for building corporate intranets, document and content management, and file sharing. Developed by Microsoft, it is primarily used as part of the hosted service Microsoft 365, but it can also be hosted by an IT department or service provider, using an on premises version called "SharePoint Server". Launched in 2001, SharePoint was originally licensed under the Microsoft Office Server suite, and a feature limited version was bundled with Windows Server. These were unified under the SharePoint brand in 2010.
