Sharepoint Workspace 2010 (Includes Software Assurance) (French)

SharePoint Workspace 2010, formerly known as Microsoft Groove 2007, is the preferred end-user interface to SharePoint Server 2010 and SharePoint Foundation 2010. It allows coworkers and team members to collaborate by sharing files, participating in online meetings, and using collaboration tools in a shared workspace. For organizations without an installation of SharePoint Server or SharePoint Foundation, SharePoint Workspace can also be used as a peer-to-peer collaboration application or as a managed application when connected to Groove Server 2010.

SharePoint Workspace specializes in facilitating collaboration among distributed, cross-functional teams with differing degrees of Internet connectivity and security clearance. The software's queuing and synchronizing capabilities allow team members to work remotely, offline, or for different organizations and still receive rapid updates to shared documents. When collaborators have different roles on a project, SharePoint Workspace can help enforce privileges and permissions so that someone in a consulting role can't delete or overwrite other team members' work.

SharePoint Workspace retains most of the features of Microsoft Groove 2007, while adding tighter SharePoint integration and other improvements like multiple types of workspaces. Users can choose from three workspace types:

• SharePoint workspaces: Individuals can work with synchronized, locally stored copies of documents, lists, and other content hosted by the organization's SharePoint installation.
• Groove workspaces: Users can collaborate with smaller, ad-hoc groups of invited peers and coworkers outside of a SharePoint infrastructure.
• Shared Folders workspaces: End-users can share folders of locally stored content with groups of trusted peers.
• SharePoint Workspace 2010 is also one of the applications included in the Office Professional Plus 2010 suite.
