SharePoint Products and Technologies provide enterprise-scale capabilities to meet business-critical needs like managing content and business processes, simplifying how people find and share information across boundaries, and enabling better informed decisions. Using the combined collaboration features of Windows SharePoint Services and Office SharePoint Server 2007, plus the design and customization capabilities of Office SharePoint Designer 2007, organizations can enable their users to create, manage, and easily build their own SharePoint sites, and enable these sites to be discovered throughout the organization.
The following is a list of the SharePoint Technologies hottest and newest feature sets and why you should consider upgrading:
§ Content types. A content type defines the metadata for a document
classification, including the number and types of columns for a document
library list and the template for the class. You can include multiple content
types within a single list or document library, and specify a content type within
multiple sites. |
§ Integrated workflows. Attach business logic to WSS v3 lists and documents
using Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer includes a graphic designer for
adding workflows that don't require code. Once designed, you can initiate WSS
workflows manually or automatically from a particular SharePoint event, such
as the addition of a list item or library document. |
§ RSS feeds. Users can stay updated about new information in individual lists or
libraries. The RSS feed is automatically added to the users Outlook 2007 client
and will keep the user up to date on critical changes and information as they
occur. |
§ Blogs. Allow site users to post information and solicit feedback in a structured
environment. |
§ Wiki support. Let users create and syndicate their own Weblogs and wikis.
Lists also generate RSS feeds and help users stay up to date with changes. |
§ Excel Services. Enable users to load, calculate, and display Excel workbooks
on Office SharePoint Server 2007. Using Excel Services, you can easily reuse
and share Excel workbooks on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 portals
and dashboards. |
§ Business Data Catalog. Present an integrated view of data from disparate
systems that store bits and pieces of your business’ data. This new feature
allows users to bring together financial, client relationship, document
management, and workflow systems into a single unified SharePoint view. Data
is extracted from each of the source systems and converted into HTML so that
this valuable information can be displayed on the page. |
