Summary

SharePoint 2010 is the missing collaboration side of the Exchange 2010 platform, providing Exchange users with advanced document management and portal capabilities. With the ability to provide for email-enabled content, SharePoint allows administrators to receive inbound emails directly into document libraries and lists, further extending the capabilities of the platform.

In addition to email-enabled content capabilities, SharePoint 2010 has other strong integration points with Exchange 2010, including outbound alert forwarding and OWA inbox and calendar web parts. It is subsequently no small surprise why Exchange 2010 and SharePoint 2010 are often installed together in many environments.
