Overview
Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007
improves organizational effectiveness by providing one
unified suite of enterprise-scale applications that
satisfies diverse business-critical needs, such as managing
content and business processes, simplifying how people work
together across boundaries, and enabling better informed
decision-making.
 Office
SharePoint 2007 provides 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. Office SharePoint
2007 supports all of the intranets,
extranets, and Web applications across an
enterprise within one integrated platform,
instead of relying on separate fragmented
systems.
Manage
Content and Processes
Simplify
compliance efforts and keep business information
secure through a comprehensive set of tools to
manage and control electronic content.
Streamline the everyday business processes that
are a drain on organizational productivity by
using electronic forms and out-of-the-box
workflow processes that users can initiate,
track, and participate in through familiar
Microsoft Office applications, e-mail, or
browsers.
| |
Control documents through
detailed, extensible policy management.
Define customized document management
policies to control access rights at a
per-item level, specify retention period
and expiration actions, and track
content through document-auditing
settings. Policy integration with
familiar client applications makes
compliance transparent and easy for
employees. Integration with Information
Rights Management ensures that
proprietary and confidential information
is effectively protected even if it is
not connected to a server. |
| |
Centrally store, manage,
and access documents across the
enterprise.
Organizations can store and organize all
business documents and content in one
central location, and users have a
consistent mechanism to navigate and
find relevant information. Default
repository settings can be modified to
add workflow, define retention policies,
and add new templates and content types. |
| |
Simplify Web content
management.
Provide easy-to-use functionality to
create, approve, and publish Web
content. Master Pages and Page Layouts
provide reusable templates for a
consistent look and feel. New
functionality enables enterprises to
publish content from one area to another
(for example, from a collaborative sites
to a portal), or cost effectively manage
multilingual delivery of content on
multiple intranet, extranet and Internet
sites. |
| |
Extend business processes
across the organization.
Forms Services-driven solutions make it
possible to securely and accurately
collect information both inside and
outside the organization without coding
any custom applications. This
information can then be integrated
easily into line-of-business systems,
stored in document libraries, used to
start workflow processes, or submitted
to Web services, thus avoiding duplicate
effort and costly errors resulting from
manual data entry. |
| |
Streamline everyday
business activities.
Take advantage of workflows to automate
and gain more visibility into common
business activities such as document
review and approval, issue tracking, and
signature collection. Integration with
familiar Microsoft Office client
applications, e-mail, and Web browsers
simplifies the user experience.
Organizations can easily modify the
out-of-the-box processes or define their
own processes using familiar Microsoft
tools such as Microsoft Office
SharePoint Designer 2007 (the next
generation Microsoft Office FrontPage)
or Microsoft Visual Studio development
system. |
Improve
Business Insight
Effectively monitor business drivers, empower
better informed decisions throughout the
organization, and proactively respond to
important business events.
| |
Present business-critical
information in one central location.
Create live, interactive business
intelligence (BI) portals that assemble
and display business information from
disparate sources by using integrated BI
capabilities such as dashboards, Web
Parts, key performance indicators (KPIs),
and business data connectivity
technologies. Centralized Report Center
sites give users a single place to find
the latest spreadsheets, reports, or
KPIs. |
| |
Instantly connect people
with information.
SharePoint Enterprise Search
incorporates people and business data
along with documents and Web pages to
provide more comprehensive results. The
Search Center provides a single
integrated location for employees to
find content, processes, people, and
business data relevant to their specific
needs. This enables people and
organizations to make decisions more
quickly, based on the latest information
and facts. |
| |
Share business data
broadly while helping to protect
sensitive information.
Excel Services running on Office
SharePoint Server 2007 provides access
to data and analytics in real time,
interactive Microsoft Office Excel
spreadsheets from a Web browser. Use
these spreadsheets to maintain and
efficiently share one centralized and
up-to-date version while helping to
protect any sensitive or proprietary
information embedded in documents (such
as financial models). |
| |
Leverage your
unstructured business networks to drive
better decisions.
Employees can use new knowledge
management tools to get the most from
their powerful unstructured business
networks, both inside and outside their
organizations, thereby connecting with
people more quickly and efficiently. By
exploring these undocumented business
relationships and finding subject matter
experts, individuals are able to make
better decisions more quickly. |
| |
Unlock business data.
Out-of-the-box connectors provide
accessibility to data in SAP and Siebel
systems. The Business Data Catalog
allows structured data from
line-of-business applications to be
integrated into SharePoint in multiple
ways through Web Parts, lists, people
profiles, and search. Centrally managed
connections to back-end systems can be
defined once and then reused by end
users to access back-end data without
writing any codeeasily making business
data part of portal content. The
Business Data Catalog also provides the
ability for SharePoint Enterprise Search
to integrate back-end business data into
the search experience, without having to
write any protocol handlers, iFilters,
or custom code. |
Simplify
Internal and External Collaboration
Share knowledge, find information, and
collaborate more easily and securely both within
and across organizational boundaries. Leverage
your partners and customers and utilize your
personal people-networks to connect to other
people effectively.
| |
Enhance customer and
partner relationships.
With smart, standards-based,
electronic-forms-driven solutions, you
can collect business information from
customers and partners through a Web
browser. Lightweight directory access
protocol (LDAP) integration and support
for other pluggable authentication
providers makes it easier to work with
non-Active Directory directory service
sources, thereby simplifying extranet
setups and facilitating tighter
connectivity with customers, partners,
and suppliers. |
| |
Ubiquitous Enterprise
Search.
Enterprise Search in Office SharePoint
Server 2007 has great relevance and
incorporates enterprise content such as
people and business data, along with
documents and Web pages, to provide more
comprehensive results. Search is
ubiquitous in Office SharePoint Server
2007, with tight integration into
SharePoint sites, Web Parts, SharePoint
lists, people profiles, and more. This
enables people to look for the
information they need wherever they
navigate to within the portal.
Enterprise Search has the capability to
search through business data and the
search results can be highly customized,
for example, surfacing specific metadata
elements of back-end records.
|
| |
Work when and where you
want. With
offline access to Office SharePoint
Server 2007 lists and document
libraries, you can free yourself from
limitations of corporate network
connectivity. Tight integration with
Microsoft Office Groove Server 2007
further enhances the offline experience
for users. |
| |
Connect and share
knowledge. New
knowledge management tools empower
employees to create and leverage people
networks, both inside and outside their
organizations, so they can connect and
share knowledge more quickly and
efficiently with other people.
|
| |
Personalize operations.
My Sites provide a totally personalized
experience for users, with a dedicated
site for each user. Each site can be
used to store, present, view, and manage
content, information, and applications
in a controlled fashion. Each site can
also be used to present information
about the user such as skills and roles,
colleagues and managers, groups and
distribution lists the user belongs to,
and documents the user is working on.
And each site contains stringent privacy
control and security mechanisms, so that
each user can choose how much
information to present, and to whom. My
Sites can also be fully customized to
suit individual requirements. |
Empower IT
to Make a Strategic Impact
Increase responsiveness of IT to business needs
and reduce the number of platforms to maintain
by supporting all intranets, extranets, and Web
applications across the enterprise with one
integrated platform.
| |
Get enhanced interoperability
support. Office SharePoint Server
2007 is built on a scalable
architecture, with support for Web
services and interoperability standards
including XML and Simple Object Access
Protocol (SOAP). Office SharePoint
Server 2007 also has rich, open
application programming interfaces
(APIs) and event handlers for lists and
documents. This enables integration with
existing systems and provides the
flexibility to incorporate new
non-Microsoft IT investments. LDAP
integration support for other pluggable
authentication providers makes it easier
to work with non-Active Directory
sources. Out-of-the-box WSRP Consumer
Web Part enables integration with other
WSRP-compliant portal solutions.
Out-of-the-box connectors and Web parts
for common line-of-business systems such
as SAP and Siebel simplify how business
users can access data from these systems
directly from within portal-based
solutions. |
| |
Enable IT to focus on more strategic
tasks. Users can now create sites,
initiate workflows, self-provision
applications, access back-end data,
define security at a per-item level,
restore deleted items, and complete
other tasks without involving IT. This
reduced user dependence on IT improves
productivity and also allows the IT
department to focus on providing real
value-added services to the
organization. The Business Data Catalog
provides the ability to define and
deploy a Business Information Library of
connections to back-end systems. This
feature can be reused by business users
to create personalized views of business
data without having to develop any
custom code. |
| |
Simplify deployment, management, and
system administration. Managing a
Web server farm, deploying new pieces of
content, and managing synchronization
across those sites is now much simpler.
Deployment can be done in top-down or
bottom-up fashion. Simplify site
staging through out-of-the-box
Site-starter Templates for common Web
sites, with Area and Page layout
templates and pre-configured navigation.
And enhanced capabilities to backup and
restore content helps IT professionals
schedule backups, back up multiple site
collections, and then restore each one
individually. |
| |
Robust system monitoring, usage
tracking, and monitoring tools.
These tools help isolate and solve
problems faster and improve the
operational efficiency of the system
infrastructure. |
