More and more companies have multiple products which have overlapping functionality or duplication of their functionality causing a great deal of confusion and chaos within the organisation. This issue is often compounded when the products are unable to interact with each other.
There are many products in the market place aimed at providing a single interface to be able to share documents and manage processes within an organization. However, Microsoft’s SharePoint solution is recognised as one of the market leaders of collaborative solutions helping businesses work smarter.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 represents the next generation of SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) built on top of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS), and its introduction brings together a variety of technologies into a single integrated platform and set of enterprise services.
Microsoft Office 2007 is centric to the collaboration solution and MOSS 2007 is a web based server extension to the 2007 Office System that provides a single, integrated location where employees can find organisational resources, search for experts and corporate information, manage content and automate workflow. MOSS 2007 allows employees to leverage data held in line of business systems, allowing them to make better-informed decisions.
