Features and Components

Enhanced features and components in SharePoint Server 2007 provide numerous ways to connect people, process, and information.

Collaboration

SharePoint Server 2007 is an important part of the overall Microsoft collaboration vision to help an organization work more effectively with others. Features include improving team productivity, managing document creation process, streamlining business processes, and supporting community knowledge.

Portals

The portal components of SharePoint Server 2007 include features that are especially useful for designing, deploying, and managing enterprise intranet portals, corporate Internet Web sites, and divisional portal sites. The portal components make it easier to connect to people within the organization who have the right skills, knowledge, and project experience.

Enterprise Search

The search component of SharePoint Server 2007 is significant. These features provide a consistent and familiar search experience, relevance of search results, a function to search for people and expertise, ability to index and search data in line-of-business applications, and extensive manageability and extensibility.

Enterprise Content Management

The content management features in SharePoint Server 2007 fall within three areas:

• Document management
• Records management
• Web content management

SharePoint Server 2007 builds on the core document management functionality provided by Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, including check-in and check-out, versioning, metadata, and role-based granular access controls. Organizations can use this functionality to deliver enhanced authoring, business document processing, Web content management and publishing, records management, policy management, and support for multilingual publishing.

Business Process and Forms

The Microsoft Office InfoPath Forms Services technologies that are included in SharePoint Server 2007 enable organizations to streamline form-driven business processes through XML-based electronic forms that are easy-to-use and intelligent, and that integrate smoothly with existing systems. This client/server platform enhances security, enables rapid solution creation and deployment, centralizes form management and maintenance, and helps to extend business processes to customers, partners, and suppliers.

Business Intelligence

SharePoint Server 2007 enables organizations to provide business intelligence (BI) capabilities to every employee, allowing them to share, control, and reuse business information in order to make better business decisions. The SharePoint Server 2007 BI platform provides Web and programmatic access to published Microsoft Office Excel worksheets, programmatic reuse of critical line-of-business data, and easy development of Web-based BI dashboards that can incorporate rich, data-bound key performance indicators, Web Parts, and published worksheets.
