Google Sites may give Sharepoint a run

What is Sharepoint?

Microsoft's Sharepoint is a document management system software that allows users to share documents and maintain calendars on secure Web sites within an organization.

• This is a paid software, organizations have to buy and maintain the software and the required hardware. Perhaps a costly affair in general!
  Medium and small-sized organizations usually cannot afford it...
  

How is Google Sites better than Sharepoint?

With Google Sites:

• No hassles of buying software!!! No hassles of buying hardware!!! This is a Free Document Management System on Google Servers.
  
• Google Sites allows users to create a team web site in an easy way. Any Organization (say, University, School, Club, Community, etc.,) can maintain their documents on the web site, and for this they need not be techies. As Google claims, "Building a site is as simple as editing a document, and you don't need anyone's help to get started."

Google Sites is bundled under Google Apps, where the Standard and Education Editions are FREE. The Premier Edition costs $50/year/account.

So, if you and your friends are working on a project at university or home, sign up for Google Apps Standard Edition and enjoy the features of Google Sites.

Cons:

Large companies may not like the idea of putting their documents on third party servers due to security reasons. So I think this facility is a boon to small and medium scale companies but not to large companies.
