Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 is the foundation of an optimized business productivity infrastructure. The first comprehensive approach to solving the problems that people encounter in the unstructured world of work. Rather than treating information management and access, collaboration, and people-driven processes as isolated challenges, Office SharePoint Server 2007 encompasses the whole continuum of unstructured work as a single set of related issues that demand a single, strategic approach. This offers several significant benefits:
- Simplicity for end users, who can leverage their familiarity with Office-based applications and the browser environment for all their information-work activities, regardless of their role or task.
- Value and governance for IT, which only needs to support a single set of technologies to enable comprehensive capabilities across the enterprise.
- Speed and flexibility for the business, which can customize and extend the platform quickly and easily at a variety of levels from personalization to enterprise application development.
- The security and scalability of a platform built for the enterprise.
- Comprehensive versioning options. When dealing with multiple versions of a document you need to have a system for numbering successive versions, so that everyone involved can easily tell which version they’re looking at.
- Document Check-In and Check-Out ensures that only one person makes changes to a document at a time.
The Office SharePoint Server 2007 Document Management offering helps organizations realize their document management goals by enabling appropriate policies—security, management, retention—at every step of the document’s life-cycle. A centralized repository improves information discovery and reuse of critical assets, empowering users to harness the organization’s collective knowledge. By combining the usability and simplicity of familiar tools with the unified Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a robust solution that extends the discipline of document management to all employees.
