You don’t need to be a programmer to use the building blocks in SharePoint 2010. Even without code, you can create highly customized sites and solutions: Share Microsoft Visio diagrams and Microsoft Access databases. Use Microsoft SharePoint Designer and Microsoft InfoPath to design solutions based on workflows and forms. You’ll be surprised by how many of your business challenges can be resolved with a code-free solution.

With SharePoint 2010 Composites, you can work with data from other systems as if it lived in SharePoint. Create, read, update, delete, and search the data using external lists. Work with it online in a browser or in Microsoft Office. Can’t get connected? Use Microsoft SharePoint Workspace to work offline and synchronize your changes when you reconnect.

SharePoint 2010 Composites helps you centralize and manage business solutions so that your people can get their jobs done and you can save time and effort. For example, you can:

• Centralize Access databases and Excel workbooks and deploy them from SharePoint.
• Provide controlled access to company data.
• Deploy safe Sandbox Solutions to SharePoint without risking the health of the platform.
• Use the time and effort you saved to focus on higher IT priorities.
