Oracle Beehive
Oracle Beehive provides an integrated set of communication and collaboration services built on a single scalable, secure, enterprise-class platform. Beehive allows users to access their collaborative information through familiar tools while enabling IT to consolidate infrastructure and implement a centrally managed, secure, and compliant collaboration environment built on Oracle technology.

SharePoint
SharePoint's multi-purpose platform allows for managing and provisioning of intranet portals, extranets and websites, document management and file management, collaboration spaces, social networking tools, enterprise search, business intelligence tooling, process/information integration, and third-party developed solutions. SharePoint can also be used as a web application development platform.

Imagine, if you will, two unlikely companions: Oracle Beehive and SharePoint. They both provide a way for teams to collaborate, communicate, and, in some cases, argue about whose turn it is to manage the document. They can share calendars, tasks and the occasional existential question about why they're all here in the first place. Both aim to gather your information in one place, though neither will tell you where that place is if you don't ask nicely.

Now, Oracle Beehive, with all the charm of a highly secure, ultra-efficient beehive, is really for the enterprise that’s decided to take its collaboration strategy to the next level. If you're running Oracle’s ERP system and need to somehow integrate your messages, emails and content in a unified, seamlessly functional manner, Beehive is your slightly mysterious friend. Since 2007, it’s been telling organizations, "Let’s make things work," though it’s often been hard for smaller businesses to get the gist of its grand plans.

On the other hand, SharePoint, born in 2001, is Microsoft’s way of saying, “We’ve got something for everyone and if you’re already using Microsoft Office, this will feel like home.” It’s not just for big businesses—SharePoint can cater to anyone who wants to wrangle documents, workflows or organizational charts with a little less flair but a lot more consistency. It integrates with everything Microsoft has ever made and probably some things it hasn’t yet and if you give it a moment, it will offer you a plugin, an add-on or a wizard to help you with anything from team collaboration to finding lost productivity.
