1. Work together in real time

With more people working on the go these days, collaborating with coworkers can be a challenge. With Co-Authoring, multiple team members can work on a single document at the same time, so revisions, edits, and approvals can be made quickly and easily -- from almost anywhere.

2. Keep productive on the go with a seamless online/offline experience

With Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010, you can keep all your important SharePoint documents and lists available offline. Also, you can use peer-to-peer workspaces to collaborate with people inside and outside of your organization -- without the need for SharePoint Server.
In both cases, when you connect, only the changes are synchronized, getting you the updates faster even when faced with a low-bandwidth connection. Keep your team up to date, your content consistent, and take everything with you wherever you work.

6. Regain control of your e-mail

The Conversation View, Clean Up, and Ignore features in Outlook 2010 can remove duplicate information and act like a "mute button" for your inbox. MailTips provide notices before a message is sent to protect information leakage or embarrassing mistakes. Warnings can be configured by IT to show alerts such as when a message is addressed to a large distribution list or to recipients outside of the company domain.
Office 2010 gives your people faster and easier ways to manage their e-mail, which is critical today as the number of daily messages for most people is on the rise.

Broadcast Slide Show can be managed through Group Policy, and IT can choose between a locally-hosted broadcast service, a free service provided over the Internet through Microsoft PowerPoint Live, or both. Now you can hold spontaneous meetings with customers and partners with security in mind and save on third-party broadcasting tools.
