messages, and information can be quickly disseminated to those who need
it.

powerful tools that enable SharePoint site administrators to create
workflows to speed-up business processes. As new documents arrive at
the SharePoint server, workflow processes initiate automatically to
notify appropriate workflow participants by e-mail or their personal
task lists.
