SharePoint provides a foundation for corporations to begin modernizing their collaboration from archaic tools such as e-mail, local file systems and, in many cases, hard copy documents to providing a means for users to interact in real time. With SharePoint, the days of duplicated work, lost files, and large storage rooms are long gone. SharePoint out-of the-box provides basic tools such as Document Libraries, Dashboards, Lists, and even Calendars. Although these are what most companies require to initially get their collaborative portals underway, they are just basic building blocks. Calendars are a prime example. SharePoint Calendar Views provide users the means to display data in simple views including Day, Week, and Month, however, as corporations begin to expand and more information is gathered, users need a more complete solution. That is where Bamboo Calendar Plus Web Part comes in. To provide a clearer picture of the benefits Calendar Plus Web Part provides over SharePoint out-of the-box, view the comparison chart below.
