SharePoint for Case Management
Clearway Case Management for SharePoint is a comprehensive application
that leverages out-of-the-box SharePoint functionality combined with Case
Management functionality from Clearway.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Overview
 Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server was designed with three goals in mind:
personalization, integration, and collaboration. SharePoint enables
enterprises to develop an intelligent portal that
seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take
advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them
work more efficiently.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is an integrated suite of server
capabilities that can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing
comprehensive content management and enterprise search, accelerating shared
business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across boundaries
for better business insight. The portal facilitates end-to-end
collaboration by enabling aggregation, organization, and search
capabilities for people, teams, and information. Users can find relevant
information quickly through customization and personalization of portal
content and layout, as well as by audience targeting. Organizations can
target information, programs, and updates to audiences based on their
organizational role, team membership, interest, security group, or any other
membership criteria that can be defined. SharePoint solutions from Clearway
help our clients to:
Manage content and processes
Simplify compliance efforts and keep business information more 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 Web 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 helps ensure that proprietary and
confidential information is better 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 to 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 more 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.
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.
- 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
enables the IT department to focus on providing real value-added
services to the organization. With the Business Data Catalog, you can
define and deploy business application configurations to access data
residing in 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 preconfigured
navigation. And enhanced capabilities to back up and restore content
helps IT professionals schedule backups, back up multisite 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
