Part III: You and Your Windows Phone 7..... > Chapter 21: Connecting to SharePoint
Chapter 21
Connecting to SharePoint
Microsoft SharePoint is quickly becoming a staple of many an office worker's life. A system designed to let you share, collaborate, and get work done more easily, SharePoint seems like a logical addition to any mobile device. However, only a Windows Phone 7 device thus far lives up to the promise of SharePoint on a smartphone. In this chapter, we'll discuss how to connect to your company's SharePoint server, allowing you to access work files wherever you may be.
NOTE: Windows Phone 7 requires that your company be running the latest version of SharePoint Server (Microsoft SharePoint 2010), as well as a Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) server. This ensures that your phone connects securely to the SharePoint server. If your company uses an older version of SharePoint, or does not have a UAG server, you can still browse the SharePoint server in Internet Explorer on your phone; however, you cannot connect to it using the Office Hub. We'll discuss how to connect to a SharePoint server using both of these methods in this chapter.
