Simple question, when someone who has no idea what SharePoint is, how do you explain it to them? It is so simple, but so complicated.
Do you use the 6 pillars?
I am always a bit stumped whenever I am approached by someone asking me to explain what SharePoint is. I believe it really depends on who you’re explaining it to. Explaining it to someone who has very little computer knowledge (such as my grandma) I usually just resort to showing her and explaining it to her with examples. When I explained it to someone with more knowledge of computers (such as a fellow tech geek :P) I have explained it as a sort of “Excel meets GoogleDocs/Drive with an available dashboard.” That’s about the best I have been able to explain it in less than a few sentences.
