Sharepoint Capabilities and Services - Functionality

Collaboration with SharePoint

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps your organisation get more done by providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes. It helps create collaboration environments to help groups of people work together efficiently by bringing together people, projects, documents, emails, discussions, calendars and more in a single space on your Intranet Portal.

Portals with SharePoint

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a world class Enterprise Portal platform that makes it easy to build and maintain portal sites for every aspect of your business. SharePoint has functionality which is a personal site that gives users a central location to aggregate information "for me," "by me," and "about me." This page includes an overview of My Site and the different ways you can use it to manage and store your documents, content, links, and contacts.

Workflow with SharePoint

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides built-in workflow templates to automate approval, review and archiving processes. With Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can also create, maintain and analyse custom workflows, enabling you to streamline your collaborative processes. Electronic forms provided through InfoPath Forms Services are an integral part of such workflows.

Enterprise Search

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is the Microsoft enterprise search solution for organizations that want to increase productivity and reduce information overload by providing their employees, partners and customers the ability to find relevant content in a wide range of repositories and formats.

SharePoint search indexes information from all SharePoint sites, web sites, file shares, Microsoft Exchange public folders, active directory (people book) entries and SharePoint (collaboration) workspaces. The scope of searches can be customised by the administrator or user to limit the search to only relevant information sources, providing you with faster, easier-to-read results. Other, more advanced, functions such as ‘include areas’, ‘best bets’, thesaurus and word breaker help you to further refine both the index and individual search results.

Enterprise Content Management

The content management of your internet, intranet and extranet sites can be a time-consuming and frustrating job. Content Management Systems resolve these challenges by putting content creation and management tasks in the hands of business teams. By separating content creation from content presentation, IT developers can concentrate on making templates whilst business users can focus on crafting well-written text. The content can be workflowed through the organisation, so an author’s work is reviewed by an editor and approved by the ultimate stakeholder, prior to publication.

Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence with Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides an infrastructure that makes it easy for decision-makers to access information anytime, anywhere. People can get up-to-date information where they work, collaborate and make decisions, whether it's on the desktop or over the Web.

Integration with 2007 Microsoft Office System

Office SharePoint Server 2007 is designed to work effectively with other programs, servers, and technologies in the 2007 Office release. For example, with Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, you can create a slide library on an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site that allows other users to pick specific slides for their own presentation and receive notifications and updated versions when the slides have been modified.
