ADVANTAGES OF Office SharePoint Server 2007 IN AN
ORGANIZATION:
1. Use site templates to collaborate or manage meetings
When you create a new Office SharePoint Server 2007 site, you
can start by
selecting one of several different kinds of site templates for
collaborating with
other people and managing meetings. The site templates in the
Collaboration
group are designed to help teams within an organization work on
projects and
collaborate on documents. For example, by using the Document
Workspace site
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
10/19
template, you can work with other people on a document or a set
of documents.
The site templates in the Meetings group are designed to help
teams within an
organization manage different kinds of meetings. The templates
in this group
support everything from basic meetings to decision-focused
meetings or even
social events.
2. Share documents, contacts, tasks, and calendars
You can synchronize your Office SharePoint Server 2007 calendar
with Office
Outlook 2007. You can enter all-day events and specify more
types of repeating,
or recurring, events. You can track team projects more
effectively with visual day
and month views.
3. Brainstorm easily with wiki sites
A wiki site enables you to brainstorm ideas, collaborate on a
team design, build an
encyclopedia of knowledge, or just gather routine information in
a format that is
easy to create and modify. Your team members can contribute to
wikis from their
browsers they don't need a word processor or special technical
knowledge.
4. Share ideas with blogs
A blog, or weblog, consists of frequent short posts that are
displayed in order,
starting with the most recent post. With Office SharePoint
Server 2007, it just
takes a few clicks to create a blog, post to a blog, subscribe
to updates to a blog,
or customize a blog.
5. Receive updates to lists and libraries
Lists and libraries use Really Simple Syndication (RSS)
technology, so that
members of your workgroup can automatically receive updates. RSS
is a
technology that enables people to receive and view updates or
feeds of news,
blogs, and other items of interest in a consolidated
location.
6. Manage projects
You can create a Project Tasks list, which includes a Gantt
chart. A Gantt chart is
a type of visual overview of project tasks that you can use to
monitor the dates
and progress of team tasks.
7. Get mobile access to content
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
11/19
You can view portals, team sites, and lists on a mobile device
to help you stay
current on team projects and tasks when you are travelling. For
example, lists
appear on phones (or other telecommunications devices that
support international
standards) in a simplified text format, with a link to scroll
through the content of
each page.
8. Send e-mail to Office SharePoint Server 2007
You can use an e-mail program to participate in discussions,
meetings, and
documents on an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site. Just as you
send e-mail
messages to your team to discuss tasks and projects, you can
also send e-mail
messages to an Office SharePoint Server 2007 site or to a
specific list or library.
9. Manage documents and some types of lists offline
You can take your important work with you wherever you go. With
Office
Outlook 2007, you can work offline on files in a library and
items in the following
types of lists: calendars, contacts, tasks, and discussions.
When you connect back
online, you can update your files on the server. List items are
updated
automatically.
DISADVANTAGES:
1: Search enhancementsImpact of finally being able to search
across top-level sites. Thats great. But in addition
to seeing results of sites users never knew existed, theyll be
able to see only what
theyve been granted access to. So theres no frustration in
following a hyperlink and
being prompted with a login request, and theres no security risk
associated with
confidential information making it into a search result
list.
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
12/19
2: Checking out documents to a local copy
Offline access to WSS v2 documents was reliable only with an
additional product like
Colligo or Groove running on the client machine. Without those
products, mobile users
had to check out a document from a version-enabled library, save
a local copy, go offline
to edit, check in the SharePoint document, and then save over
the file.
3: Workflow
Most users admit that a lot of e-mail is generated in their
organization to collaborate on
documents. The ability to check in and check out a document was
great in WSS v2, but
users still had to e-mail the finished product to the people who
needed to approve it.
4: Gantt View
Even if you dont have Project Server, MOSS 2007 now allows you
to create a
lightweight project environment, including Gantt chart views for
project task lists.
Although it doesnt have the full functionality of Project
Server, it will do in a pinch.
5: Synched tasks
To add to the list of ways that MOSS 2007 provides project
support, users can connect a
task list to Outlook 2007. They can also view all their task
lists on all SharePoint sites
from My Site using the SharePoint Sites Web part.
6: More survey features
If a user answers Yes to question #3 in a survey, you can now
use branching logic to
send him or her down to question #10. Take note that the
Audience Targeting column is
available in Surveys, so you can use the Content Query Web Part
to enable your survey
to a particular audience on the front page of your SharePoint
site.
Microsoft Windows Share Point Server
This article introduces Windows Share Point Services and shows
how it truly respondsto the need for highly productive and
collaborative desktop tools. Additionally, you'll
explore how Windows Share Point Services work with Office 2003
applications to bring
information to users when they need it, and also making it
easier for people to work

One of the most consistent and compelling observations I have
made is this: documents
are one of the most overlooked assets in nearly every
organization. Here, the word
"documents" is used as a general term for spreadsheets,
presentations, letters, memos,
maps, images, and so forth.
Although it is daunting to think of how to empirically measure
the value of these assets
within an organization, basic common sense suggests that a great
deal of organizational
knowledge, power, insight, learning potential, and innovation is
contained within them.
Yet all too often, they are treated rather casually.
. I observed how organizations do things, from maintaining
security, to database
management, to document management, and even end-user
training.
features
Features
Features windows share point server are following:
Easy Access for All Team Members
Windows Share Point Services is an easily accessed file server.
People can store their
documents in a document library by going to the site. The truth
of the matter is that most
people (including me) have a tendency to store documents in too
many places. And
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
14/19
storing them in a central location does not equal
collaboration.
It is a common practice for companies to create file shares that
are centrally managed,
fault-tolerant, and regularly backed up
. The idea is to have people store any important documents
relating to their job on one of
the shares. Usually, people are also given a folder on a share
where they can store more
personal documents. Few people fully embrace this practice. One
of the main reasons is
the loss of personal control. Another is the inability to
effectively search, sort, and
browse the content
Microsoft has fielded a pair of related products for creating
and managing team,
corporate, and personal portal Web sites. Windows SharePoint
Services (WSS) 3.0, the
latest release of the company's platform for team collaboration
sites, has better features
for organizing and storing content than its predecessor.
SharePoint Server 2007, which is
built on WSS 3.0 and thus inherits all of that product's
features, is the latest version of
Microsoft's strategic platform for corporate portals (the
product was formerly called
SharePoint Portal Server). SharePoint Server offers incremental
improvements for portals
and takes on a variety of new roles, including enterprise
content management and
business intelligence. These new features could expand
SharePoint Server's installed base
and offer new opportunities for partners to integrate and
customize the product.
For an overview of the tools, services, and applications
provided by WSS 3.0 and
SharePoint Server 2007 and the relationship of the two products,
see the sidebar
"SharePoint Server 2007 Builds on WSS 3.0".

-

Improves Team Collaboration
. WSS team collaboration sites are similar to SharePoint Server
portal sites technically,
but they are smaller in scopeinstead of being entry points to
corporatewide
information, team sites are used to encourage and aid
collaboration among smaller groups
of workers. For example, a product development team might use a
team site to gather
ideas for product features, collaborate on specifications, track
project schedules, and
communicate project status.
It is not uncommon for all team members to have permission to
create and contribute to
sites. This do-it-yourself quality contributes to WSSs appeal:
it enables workers to create
professional-looking Web sites with no coding and minimal IT
involvement. Once it is
installed and configured, workers can create and edit sites
without further IT assistance.
The combination of better document management, usability, and
administration in WSS
3.0 will probably make the product a no-brainer upgrade for many
customers. In addition,
customers might find that new features such as blogs and wikis
could provide some
incremental benefit to teams by providing simple-to-use
mechanisms for sharing and
exchanging ideas and collectively compiling and authoring
content.

SharePoint Server Expands Beyond Portals
windows SharePoint Server 2007 assumes a variety of new roles,
including records
management, centralized spreadsheet management, Web content
management, and
business intelligence. Because of this expanded scope, Microsoft
has dropped the word
portal from the product's name; the previous version was
referred to as SharePoint Portal
Server 2003.
Updations for SharePoint Server 2007:
Corporate Portals.
Although the term is broad, corporate portals are typically Web
sites that give workers
an entry point to corporate information and applications. For
example, a corporate portal
could provide access to (or even house) a self-service human
resources application that
helps employees look for new jobs in the organization and allows
managers to add or
update job descriptions. Although SharePoint Server 2007 does
not introduce sweeping
changes to its portal features, several incremental improvements
and better administration
tools could help customers speed creation of portal sites,
better target site content to
users, and ease administration of large, complex portals.
Content Management.
Microsoft promotes SharePoint Server 2007 as a platform for
enterprise content
management. It includes features for document management, which
helps companies to
organize important documents and make them easier for users to
work with and find, and
records management, which focuses on the storage, retention, and
destruction of
corporate records for legal, regulatory, or strategic
reasons.
Business Intelligence.
windows Share Point Server adds new tools and applications to
support business
intelligence, a catchall term for the collection, processing,
and analysis of data from a
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
17/19
range of sources to aid business-related decisions. SharePoint
Server 2007 allows
nontechnical workers to define key performance indicators, which
track the status of
business metrics against predefined goals; create and manage
reports; and create Web-
based dashboards that display key performance indicators and
related information. In
addition, the new Excel Services feature supports server-side
spreadsheet publishing and
calculation and could help organizations that distribute Excel
spreadsheets for reporting
or analysis. SharePoint Server's easy-to-use features aim to
help companies expand
business intelligence to broader audiences and thus improve
decision making across
organizations.
Search.
Share Point Server 2007 improves enterprise search capabilities,
which enable search of
resources on a network, such as intranet sites, file servers,
and business applications. The
product includes many updates to specific search components that
should add up to more
relevant search results for users. In addition, SharePoint
Server 2007 adds new
capabilities for finding information about people and it can
more easily index data stored
in corporate business applications.
lack of comprehensive feature sets is often made up for by low
initial cost. In fact, many
prospective customers have likely already paid most of the cost
for SharePoint Server
2007 since the product's Client Access Licenses
ADVANTAGES of WINDOWS SHARE SERVER:
Platform Creates Partner Opportunities
Although WSS 3.0 and SharePoint Server 2007 provide many readily
usable features and
applications, the products also offer many opportunities for
partners. A collection of
.NET class libraries and Web services provide programmatic
access to SharePoint
features and services; in addition, the complexity, scope of
features, and many technical
dependencies make SharePoint a fertile opportunity for
integrators.
Creating Custom Applications.
-
8/4/2019 spmabhi
18/19
The Share Point products can serve as the development platform
for a variety of Web-
based applications, such as those that provide self-service
access to data and functions in
back-end business systems. For example, developers could create
a Web-based
application that allowed workers to update time and attendance
information stored in a
human resources application. Developers can also create custom
SharePoint site
templates that address specific business problems, such as
managing business proposals.
Microsoft itself has produced a variety of downloadable
templates that can help
companies address specific problems and provide partners with a
convenient starting
point for more advanced or specialized SharePoint
applications.
Extending The Platform.
Many opportunities exist for partners to extend WSS 3.0 and
SharePoint Server 2007.
Extensions can range from fairly simple custom Web Parts (Web
page components that
present information to users in a browser) to much more complex
integrations with other
systems and applications. Extensions from Microsoft partner
Meridio, for instance, will
let records managers configure policies that automatically move
records from SharePoint
repositories to Meridio's repositories, which support a wider
variety of storage options.
Infrastructure Help, Training.
Systems integrators and other partners can help customers plan
for and set up physical
infrastructure and required software components, and learn and
take advantage of WSS
3.0's and SharePoint Server 2007's many features. In addition,
upgrading could be
complex, particularly for customers with large, customized sites
built on SPS 2003.
Integrators could find opportunities to help such customers
identify and address potential
upgrade problems and assist with migration to SharePoint Server
2007.
