Microsoft SharePoint Services

SharePoint Services: Included with Windows Server 2003.

Internal sites for the organization, a department , a team, etc. can be setup as workspaces - place to share documents and data, input data , find out what is happening and tell others what has happened - among a myriad of possibilities.

Using SharePoint Services users can create workspaces and then publish, store, share, and keep track of information, workflow, and documents. SharePoint Services also gives organizations a cost-effective foundation platform for building Web-based business applications.  It is a cost-effective way to implement and manage a high-performance collaboration environment.

SharePoint Integration with Office

Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, Microsoft Office InfoPath, Microsoft Office Project, and Microsoft Office OneNote can use information in SharePoint sites natively. Users can create workspaces, post and edit documents, and assign tasks, all while working on documents stored in SharePoint sites. With Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, users can view calendars and contact lists stored on SharePoint sites and can create and manage sites for editing documents and organizing meetings.

SharePoint Improvements to collaboration workspaces:

SharePoint sites now offer e-mail and directory integration, alerts, RSS publishing, templates for building blogs (also known as weblogs) and wikis (Web sites that can be quickly edited by team members—no special technical knowledge required), event and task tracking, improved usability, enhanced site navigation, and more.

Enhancements to content storage:

SharePoint lists and libraries now provide per-item security for better data control and integrity, a recycle bin, and enhanced flexibility for storing more types of content. Row and column capacity has also been increased, as has retrieval speed. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 can be easily integrated with smart client tools. In particular, close integration with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 provides offline access to events, contacts, discussions, tasks, and documents.

Easier provisioning of workspaces:
Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides more sophisticated and flexible security, as well as greater control over security settings and permissions.

A more robust foundation for Web applications: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provides greater flexibility for customization and development of Web-based services and applications built on the Windows SharePoint Services platform.
