However, through this article, you will get to know about those four most crucial feats that have been built-in SharePoint to improve productivity such as:

Excel Service

PowerPivot support in SharePoint 2010 helps this feature step further. Workbooks, containing PowerPivot data and published in a SharePoint website need every shared user not to get deployed the PowerPivot add-in to interact with the workbook.

PerformancePoint Services
This performance management service incorporated in SharePoint 2010 helps take wise business decisions, taking into account the strategy and vision of the organization. This service offers flexible and trouble-free components to generate dashboard scorecards, reports, and Key Performance Indicators.

Visio Services
In SharePoint 2010, Visio Service allows users to do sharing, viewing, refreshing, and updating Visio drawings from a variety of data sources. Visio drawings come in HTML so that these could be viewable in web browsers, and thus, shared users need not get installed Visio Viewer in their PC locally. Developers are also able to design the user interface and programmatically do manipulation of its web part functionality. Since users do sharing of centrally-situated drawings, on refresh they render a steady depiction of the drawings all over; as a result viewers are always provided with the most updated and augmented view of the published content. In order to produce Visio web drawings, you ought to be having Microsoft Visio Premium 2010 and Visio Professional 2010 as well as publish to SharePoint Server 2010.
