Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Communities Consultants

SharePoint 2010 Communities Consulting

Expert SharePoint Consulting can help your organization work together effectively with SharePoint Communities, released in Sharepoint 2010.  Sharepoint Communities provides a comprehensive, flexible platform that empowers people to work together in ways that are most effective for them. Allow your people to collaborate in groups, share knowledge and ideas, connect with colleagues, and find information and experts naturally.

Collaborative Content

Building on the new SharePoint user experience, it is much easier to create and find content in SharePoint sites. This includes not only improved blogs and wikis (both simple and enterprise) but also calendars, discussions, tasks, contacts, pictures, video, presence and much more. With Office 2010, multiple people can simultaneously author content on a SharePoint site.

Social Feedback and Organization

With SharePoint 2010, you can have a consistent experience for organizing, finding and staying connected to information and people including bookmarks, tagging and ratings. SharePoint 2010 uses a holistic approach across search, navigation, profiles, feeds and more. Informal social tagging with formal taxonomy are brought together so you can choose the right approach for a given set of content. We have been using these features internally for a while and you will find it not only useful but fun.

User Profiles

User profiles were enhanced  to reflect colleagues, interests, expertise – either via explicit tagging or recommendations based on Outlook and Office Communicator. The model is opt-in so users can manage what information is shared publically. They decide when an interest is something they want to share or be asked about by others in the organization.

MySites

MySites has been significantly enhanced in SharePoint 2010, building on the updated SharePoint UI and user profile. MySites is streamlined to give you quick access to your content, profile and social network while continuing to let you customize, target and personalize pages to the needs of different roles and users in your organization. The enhanced newsfeed helps track interests and colleagues.

People Connections

In SharePoint 2003, a universal person hyperlink and presence icon were introduced so you can always navigate to a user’s MySite, send them mail, start an IM, call, etc. In this release, this UI was enhanced in conjunction with Outlook and Office Communicator as well as greatly improved the colleague tracking and people search features with new algorithms and user experience leveraging expertise, social data and more. MySites also include a new interactive organization browser built using Silverlight to give you another way to navigate the organization. In larger companies, org. chart browsing via the address book is one of the most popular features in Outlook and this takes that experience to the next level.
