No installation or maintenance required
The entire SharePoint environment runs on heavily monitored servers within our network. This means that you do not have to take care of installation or maintenance yourself. As a consequence, you can better focus on your core business by entrusting the SharePoint environment to a specialist. External hosting offers numerous additional benefits, such as backup, redundant connections, free helpdesk, antivirus and anti-spam filters, etc.
Access to your documents anywhere in the world
With SharePoint hosting, you can store all your documents in one single central location. This means that, wherever on the planet you may find yourself, you can access your documents via any Internet connection. So, if you are visiting a customer, you can easily consult and modify the documents that you need.
Low entry threshold and upgrades possible at any time
Because you do not have to invest in hardware and software, and because of this product's low entry threshold, SharePoint is accessible to many small companies. Disk space and number of users can grow along with your company while it successfully develops.
Collaborating in a simple and familiar environment
Our SharePoint 2007 hosting is linked to several existing Windows interfaces that you can use via e-mail, a browser and other applications. Thanks to this, SharePoint users feel right at home and get accustomed to SharePoint more easily. Moreover, you can incorporate your company's house style into the entire SharePoint site (environment) by means of SharePoint designer.
Enhanced productivity through centralisation
Where dozens of different applications were needed before, you can now perform the same tasks through one central platform: SharePoint 2007 hosting. Furthermore, you can easily link these different modules (calendar, task management, blogs, wikis, polls, organisation of events, etc.) to each other. This centralisation allows you to create a familiar environment linked to other applications. This enhances productivity within your company and also stimulates teamwork. Due to the fact that users find what they are looking for more easily, they have more pleasure doing their job.
Simple sharing of core data within your company
It is possible to place certain frequently used company information on the intranet. This way, you avoid having to work with different versions. Here is a concrete example: imagine that you want to mention the number of customers that you have and your references in certain documents. By placing this information on the SharePoint site, every SharePoint collaborator has the most recent data available. Moreover, you can save those texts in several languages.
Linking to other Windows applications
You can link Hosted SharePoint to several Windows applications like Microsoft Office. If you also use Combell's Hosted Exchange, you can access your Exchange mailbox via the same set of username and password as the one that you use for SharePoint. You can also synchronise your most important documents by means of your Outlook client.
Powerful advanced search functions
SharePoint organises your information according to your needs. You are free to choose which information will be visible to whom or to which project team by assigning permissions to users. Thus, all documents, images, contact information, favorites, etc. will be attributed to the adequate target group. The members of this group can then collaborate in the framework of a document or files, without overwriting each other's work. The versioning function makes sure that two non-overlapping versions are created.

Sharing information, even outside the company
With SharePoint 2007 hosting, it is even possible to share information with external people, like e.g. your customers or suppliers. You are free to determine the level up to which these external people have access and which documents they can consult (e.g. catalogues and user manuals).
