Microsoft Sharepoint Workspace 2010 (Includes Software Assurance)

Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010, formerly known as Microsoft Groove 2007, is the preferred end-user interface to Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010. It allows coworkers and team members to collaborate by sharing files, participating in online meetings, and using collaboration tools in a shared workspace. For organisations without an installation of Microsoft SharePoint Server or Microsoft SharePoint Foundation, Microsoft SharePoint Workspace can also be used as a peer-to-peer collaboration application or as a managed application when connected to Microsoft Groove Server 2010.

Microsoft SharePoint Workspace specialises in facilitating collaboration among distributed, cross-functional teams with differing degrees of Internet connectivity and security clearance. The software's queuing and synchronising capabilities allow team members to work remotely, offline, or for different organisations and still receive rapid updates to shared documents. When collaborators have different roles on a project, Microsoft SharePoint Workspace can help enforce privileges and permissions so that someone in a consulting role can't delete or overwrite other team members' work.

Microsoft SharePoint Workspace retains most of the features of Microsoft Groove 2007, while adding tighter SharePoint integration and other improvements like multiple types of workspaces. Users can choose from three workspace types:

• SharePoint workspaces: Individuals can work with synchronized, locally stored copies of documents, lists, and other content hosted by the organisation's SharePoint installation.
• Groove workspaces: Users can collaborate with smaller, ad-hoc groups of invited peers and coworkers outside of a SharePoint infrastructure.
• Shared Folders workspaces: End-users can share folders of locally stored content with groups of trusted peers.
• Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 is also one of the applications included in the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 suite.
