SharePoint Services is a knowledge management portal, accessed via a browser, hosted by Internet Solutions.
It enables organisations, business units or company teams to create branded web sites for information sharing and document collaboration. This can be provided on an Intranet (intra-company only), Extranet (clients and intra-company) or Internet basis.

Microsoft SharePoint Services supplies a framework for building collaborative web sites that makes it possible for a company to share information and documents across teams, departments, and large organizations easily and reliably. Any user can access a Windows SharePoint Services website using a web browser or through the new collaboration features built into Microsoft Office 2003 & Office Office 2007 products such as Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel. It provides flexible deployment and management tools, and facilitates end-to-end collaboration through data aggregation, organising and searching.
