Organizations can also enjoy the advantage of incorporating third parties into supply chains or business processes by not sharing confidential information with the help of password protected, web facing access to people not directly linked with the organization. SharePoint is characterized by the unique feature called Publishing which enables the management of larger public websites. Some other advanced features of SharePoint are the ability to integrate with SQL Server Reporting Services, ability to surface CRUD+ Query Operations, a customized design model, a Simple Object Access Protocol and more.
