Introduction:-
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a new server program that is part of the Microsoft
Office system. Your organization can use Office SharePoint Server to facilitate
collaboration, provide content management features, implement business processes, and
supply access to information that is essential to organizational goals and processes.

You can quickly create SharePoint sites that support specific content publishing, content
management, records management, or business intelligence needs. You can also conduct
effective searches for people, documents, and data, participate in forms-driven business
processes, and access and analyze large amounts of business data.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Capabilities

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a single, integrated location where
employees can efficiently collaborate with team members, find organizational resources,
search for experts and corporate information, manage content and workflow, and
leverage business insight to make better-informed decisions.
• Collaboration Allow teams to work together effectively, collaborate on and publish
documents, maintain task lists, implement workflows, and share information through the
use of wikis and blogs.

Collaboration and Social Computing

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps your organization get more done by
providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities
and people-driven processes. Office SharePoint Server is an important part of the overall
Microsoft collaboration vision and integrates with other collaborative products to offer a
comprehensive infrastructure for working with others.• Empower Teams Through
Collaborative Workspaces

Microsoft delivers a best-of-breed collaborative infrastructure that gives end users the
tools to easily create their own workspaces and share assets across teams, departments,
and organizations while maintaining IT control.
• Connect Organizations Through Portals

Microsoft will help bring the full insight and data of the organization to the right people
at the right time by making it easy to connect people with line-of-business data, experts,
and business processes across the organization.
• Enable Communities with Social Computing Tools

Microsoft gives organizations the tools to deliver a broad set of social computing
capabilities within their existing workspace and portal infrastructure, so end users can
more easily harness the collective intelligence of the organization.
• Reduce Cost and Complexity for IT by Using an Integrated Infrastructure, Existing
Investments, and an Extensible Architectural Platform
 6

The Microsoft collaboration infrastructure leverages existing investments, is extensible,

and interoperates with other systems, so organizations can maintain a lower cost of
ownership and more easily meet business demands by building a single infrastructure.

Portals
Portal sites connect your people to business critical information, expertise, and
applications. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is a world class Enterprise Portal
platform that makes it easy to build and maintain portal sites for every aspect of your
business.

Connect your people to information and expertise

Quick, easy access to critical information and expertise means better decisions and more
rigorous execution.

Connect your people to key business applications

Consolidated access to existing business applications drives consistent performance of

common business tasks. Streamlined development of new composite applications can
lead to order of magnitude improvements in important business processes.

Connect your people to role-specific resources

Personalized information delivery increases the relevance and value of information.

Enterprise Search
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is the Microsoft enterprise search solution for
organizations that want to increase productivity and reduce information overload by
providing their employees, partners, and customers the ability to find relevant content in
a wide range of repositories and formats. With actionable search results that respect
security permissions, Office SharePoint Server 2007 lets users go beyond documents and
across repositories to unlock information, find people, and locate expertise in the
enterprise.

Built for the enterprise

In Office SharePoint Server 2007, search results are delivered quickly and relevance is
tuned for enterprise and line-of-business data.
 7

Unlock data and expertise

Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides out-of-the-box search for common enterprise
repositories and file types as well as for people and experts.

Integrated user experience

Enterprise search functionality is integrated with the collaboration, portals, content

management, forms and business intelligence features of SharePoint Server 2007 and can
be integrated with other 2007 Office system products to help users easily find, use, and
share information and increase productivity.

Business Process and Forms

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides built-in workflow templates to
automate approval, review, and archiving processes. With Office SharePoint Server 2007,
you can also create, maintain, and analyze custom workflows, enabling you to streamline
your collaborative processes. Electronic forms provided through InfoPath Forms Services
are an integral part of such workflows. These InfoPath designed electronic forms make it
easy to collect and validate information that drives your business processes. And you can
collect and validate this information right from the Microsoft Office client applications
you use every day.
Browser-based forms with InfoPath Forms Services

InfoPath Forms Services, which is part of Office SharePoint Server 2007, extends your
reach to organizations that do not use Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 by allowing you to
fill out forms in a common browser or even a HTML-enabled mobile device.
Integrated workflow and document information panel from within Microsoft Office client
applications

With Office SharePoint Server 2007, you can initiate and interact with workflows right
from within your Microsoft Office application. You can also collect and validate
important document metadata via the document information panel.
Custom workflow design with Office SharePoint Designer 2007

Office SharePoint Designer 2007 makes it easy to add business logic to sophisticated no-
code composite applications with the rules-based Workflow Designer.

Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence with Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides an infrastructure that
makes it easy for decision-makers to access information anytime, anywhere. People can
 8

get up-to-date information where they work, collaborate, and make decisions, whether it's
on the desktop or over the Web.

Important update to the Microsoft Business Intelligence roadmap

On January 22, 2009, Microsoft announced an update to its Microsoft Business
Intelligence roadmap. Microsoft's strategy is to deliver Business Intelligence to everyone
in the organization through the broadly adopted tools of Microsoft Office SharePoint
Server and Microsoft Office Excel, and built on the scalable Microsoft SQL Server BI
platform. Based on customer feedback,

We have decided to consolidate the scorecard, dashboard, and analytic functionality from
Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server into Office SharePoint Server Enterprise as
"PerformancePoint Services for SharePoint", making these capabilities available
throughout the organization at a lower TCO. PerformancePoint Services will be a license
entitlement for SharePoint Server 2007 E-CAL customers with Software Assurance.

In mid 2009, there will be a release of PerformancePoint Server 2007 "service pack 3"
which will include updates to the current product's planning module.

PerformancePoint Server 2007 will no longer be a standalone item on the Microsoft price
list as of April 1, 2009, but instead will be sold as part of SharePoint Server Enterprise
2007.

To find out more about this announcement, check out this video or read this interview
summarizing the decision. PerformancePoint Services augment SharePoint's current
Business Intelligence capabilities with scorecards and context sensitive dashboards,
which are certified by the Balanced Scorecard Institution. Check out the
PerformancePoint page for more information.

Microsoft Office Excel-based Business Intelligence

Excel Services, part of Office SharePoint Server 2007, extend the capabilities of
Microsoft Office Excel 2007 by allowing broad sharing of spreadsheets, improved
manageability and security and the ability to re-use spreadsheet models using a scalable
server-based calculation service and interactive Web-based user interface.

Dashboards and Report Center

Create interactive business intelligence (BI) dashboards that assemble and display
business information from disparate sources by using built in Web Parts. These Web
Parts include dynamic key performance indicators (KPI), Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets,
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services reports and a collection of business data
connectivity Web Parts that can visualize information residing in back-end line-of-
business applications.

Accessing and discovering business data

Seamlessly connect external data into your applications using the Business Data Catalog
(BDC) to create a foundation for business intelligence search.
