-
Single license and support
-
Reduce development costs
-
Use out-of-the-box features to save time
-
Leverage your existing ASP.NET knowledge

-
Single interface for IT Administrators and Power Users
The actions that increase ROI are:
-
Improve employee productivity
-
Collaboration tools, Web 2.0, workflows, business forms
-
Enhance the effectiveness of sales and customer service

Aggregate the business information across the enterprise
