What’s New in SharePoint 2016
o
Why SharePoint Server 2016
SharePoint Server 2016 can help
you achieve new levels of reliability and performance, delivering features and
capabilities that simplify administration, protect communications and
information, and empower users while meeting their demands for greater business
mobility.
SharePoint Server is a preferred
choice among organizations to enable rich, seamless, and productive
collaboration.
SharePoint Server 2016 builds on
the investments of previous SharePoint releases and Office 365 innovation to:
- Lower IT costs with a flexible and scalable collaboration platform.
- Better manage risk by safeguarding your business with secure and reliable capabilities.
- Increase productivity through cost-effective and efficient management.
SharePoint Server 2016 has been
designed, developed, and tested with the Microsoft Software as a Service (SaaS)
strategy, building on SharePoint Online as its core. Drawing extensively from
that experience, SharePoint Server 2016 offers you new and improved, highly
flexible deployment options.
You can choose from a traditional
on-premises deployment, a hosted service with Microsoft Office 365 sites powered by Microsoft SharePoint Online,
deployment in Azure Infrastructure
as a Service (IaaS), or a mix of these options with a hybrid approach, empowering you to choose how and when you take
advantage of on-premises or cloud-based solutions, all without
changing the user experience.
Seamless integration with
on-premises people experiences and taxonomy ensure a consistent experience
within or beyond the firewall.
