Workflow Automation
With workflow automation you can have a my sites profile, wikispaces, and many more that will give you access to tools and systems within sharepoint that are used frequently. This will allow you to work more efficiently having everything readily accessible to you.
Documents placed into these areas can then have an automated process for editing approvals. If you are working on a project and need approval or just need input from team members, you can place it in the project folder which then prompts others to submit information. This will decrease the number of emails that have to be sent as well as everyone sending you back a different version of the document.
Any work you put online can easily be taken with you offline. These documents can then easily be sychronized with the host server. There is also content tagging for classification facilitating the search process and preventing duplicate content from being uploaded.
