 Top 10 Benefits of SharePoint Server 2007
Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server 2007 solutions from Clearway enable enterprises to deploy
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. Here are the top 10 benefits of using
SharePoint Server 2007 in your organization.
 |
Provide a simple, familiar, and consistent
user experience. Office SharePoint Server 2007 is
tightly integrated with familiar client desktop
applications, e-mail, and Web browsers to provide a
consistent user experience that simplifies how people
interact with content, processes, and business data.
This tight integration, coupled with robust
out-of-the-box functionality, helps you employ services
themselves and facilitates product adoption.
|
 |
Boost employee productivity by simplifying
everyday business activities.
Take advantage of out-of-the-box workflows for
initiating, tracking, and reporting common business
activities such as document review and approval, issue
tracking, and signature collection. You can complete
these activities without any coding. Tight integration
with familiar client applications, e-mail, and Web
browsers provide you with a simple, consistent
experience. Modifying and extending these out-of-the-box
workflow processes is made easy through tools like
Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 (the newest
release of Microsoft Office FrontPage). |
 |
Help meet regulatory requirements through
comprehensive control over content. By specifying
security settings, storage policies, auditing policies,
and expiration actions for business records in
accordance with compliance regulations, you can help
ensure your sensitive business information can be
controlled and managed effectively. And you can reduce
litigation risk for your organization. Tight integration
of Office SharePoint Server 2007 with familiar desktop
applications means that policy settings are rendered
onto client applications in the Microsoft Office system,
making it simpler for employees to be aware of and
comply with regulatory requirements.
|
 |
Effectively manage and repurpose
content to gain increased business value. Business
users and content authors can create and submit content
for approval and scheduled deployment to intranet or
Internet sites. Managing multilingual content is
simplified through new document library templates that
are specifically designed to maintain a relationship
between the original version and different translations
of a document. |
 |
Simplify organization-wide access to both
structured and unstructured information across disparate
systems.
Give your users access to business data found in common
line-of-business systems like SAP and Siebel through
Office SharePoint Server 2007. Users can also create
personalized views and interactions with business
systems through a browser by dragging configurable
back-end connections. Enterprise-wide Managed Document
Repositories help your organizations store and organize
business documents in one central location.
|
 |
Connect people with
information and expertise.
Enterprise Search in Office SharePoint Server
2007 incorporates business data along with
information about documents, people, and Web
pages to produce comprehensive, relevant
results. Features like duplicate collapsing,
spelling correction, and alerts improve the
relevance of the results, so you can easily find
what you need.
|
 |
Accelerate shared business processes across
organizational boundaries.
Without coding any custom applications, you can
use smart, electronic forms–driven solutions to
collect critical business information from
customers, partners, and suppliers through a Web
browser. Built-in data validation rules help you
gather accurate and consistent data that can be
directly integrated into back-end systems to
avoid redundancy and errors that result from
manual data re-entry. |
 |
Share business data without
divulging sensitive information.
Give your employees access to real-time,
interactive Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets
from a Web browser through Excel Services
running on Office SharePoint Server 2007. Use
these spreadsheets to maintain and efficiently
share one central and up-to-date version while
helping to protect any proprietary information
embedded in the documents (such as financial
models). |
 |
Enable people to make
better-informed decisions by presenting
business-critical information in one central
location.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 makes it easy
to create live, interactive business
intelligence (BI) portals that assemble and
display business-critical information from
disparate sources, using integrated BI
capabilities such as dashboards, Web Parts,
scorecards, key performance indicators (KPIs),
and business data connectivity technologies.
Centralized Report Center sites give users a
single place for locating the latest reports,
spreadsheets, or KPIs. |
 |
Provide a single, integrated platform to
manage intranet, extranet, and Internet
applications across the enterprise.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 is built on an
open, scalable architecture, with support for
Web services and interoperability standards
including XML and Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP). The server has rich, open application
programming interfaces (APIs) and event handlers
for lists and documents. These features provide
integration with existing systems and the
flexibility to incorporate new non-Microsoft IT
investments. |
