What is Microsoft SharePoint Server?

Microsoft SharePoint Server is a web-based collaboration and content management platform that enables companies to centrally manage documents, organize teamwork, and operate intranet portals. SharePoint Server runs entirely on-premises—on your own servers, within your own infrastructure, and under your own control.

The applications of SharePoint Server are diverse and cover nearly all aspects of digital collaboration within companies. Document libraries enable the centralized storage, versioning, and collaborative editing of documents. Team sites provide collaborative workspaces for project teams. Intranet portals serve as a central information and communication platform for the entire company. Workflows automate business processes such as approval procedures, document approvals, and notifications. And the enterprise search makes all company content quickly and reliably findable.

To access SharePoint Server services, in addition to the server license, SharePoint Server CALs are required—for every user who accesses SharePoint.

SharePoint Server Standard or Enterprise—what’s the difference?

SharePoint Server is available in two editions that differ in their feature sets:

SharePoint Server Standard offers the full range of SharePoint’s core features—document management, team sites, intranet portals, workflows, enterprise search, social features, and mobile support. For most business needs regarding collaboration and document management, Standard is entirely sufficient and the more cost-effective choice.

SharePoint Server Enterprise supplements Standard with advanced business intelligence capabilities—Excel Services, Visio Services, PerformancePoint Services for dashboards and KPIs, and InfoPath Forms Services for complex electronic forms. Enterprise is primarily relevant for companies that use SharePoint as a business intelligence platform and for advanced process automation with complex forms.

Important: For Enterprise features, Enterprise CALs are required for all users accessing the system, in addition to the Standard CAL.

SharePoint Server On-Premises or Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online—which is the better choice?

Many companies ask themselves this question—and the answer depends on their specific requirements.

SharePoint Server On-Premises is the better choice if: full data control and data sovereignty are critical. If strict compliance requirements apply that rule out a cloud solution. If the infrastructure is already in place and on-premises operation is more cost-effective in the long term. If in-depth customizations and integrations with existing systems are required that would not be possible in SharePoint Online.

SharePoint Online (Microsoft 365) is the better choice if: flexibility, automatic updates, and no need to manage your own servers are desired. If teams are geographically dispersed and seamless cloud collaboration is a priority.
