SharePoint is used as an Information repository to accumulate the information within large organizations. SharePoint stores and manages various forms of information like documents, lists, tables, and rich content on the single web application platform.
SharePoint gives abilities to users for tracking changes to the content they are interested in. This is done using features such as Alerts, RSS feeds etc.
Further functionalities like Search and Workflows help users to collaborate the information.
Most of the information on SharePoint is stored in:
Lists – Stores content as record in SharePoint database. There are wide varieties of lists available in SharePoint, ranging from simple contacts list to complex and user defined Custom lists.
Libraries – Libraries are used for storing documents, images, forms etc. It also stores metadata along with the documents and provides various features like versioning, Check-in check-out of documents, recycle Bin etc. The metadata stored for the document is defined and managed by business users and is used to categorize the documents and to help users find the document they require by using SharePoint's search functionality that not only searches the content of the documents but also the metadata held for all the documents
