Microsoft Office SharePoint Server – MOSS is relatively new to the Enterprise Content
Managment (ECM) space, having had much of the functionality from Microsoft CMS incorporated
into the SharePoint platform for the 2007 release some 2 years ago. Though relatively
immature, it is built on top of a solid, well supported and adopted document management
platform, with the R&D budget and backing of one of the world's largest companies.
SharePoint has been a “golden child” for Microsoft since the 2007 release gaining
ever increasing popularity.
During the last few years, organisations have created a huge volume of unstructured
content that includes documents, e-mail messages, videos, instant messages, Web
pages, and more. This content often exists in a state of unmanaged chaos that prevents
an organisation from properly using these valuable assets for better knowledge sharing,
improved customer communications, and increased process efficiency. Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) from Microsoft is a key component of an organisation's infrastructure,
that can help companies overcome these challenges.
Built on a well-integrated platform, ECM from Microsoft easily extends content management
to every information worker in an organisation through integration with familiar
tools like the Microsoft Office system.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 can help improve organisational effectiveness
using its integrated suite of server capabilities. It provides content management
and enterprise search, accelerates shared business processes, and facilitates information-sharing
across boundaries for better business insight. SharePoint supports Extranet, Intranet
and web based applications all in one platform.
Social computing - Bring your people together
Social computing gives information workers new ways to create value together. Blogs,
podcasts, and other social media help them capture and share knowledge, enhancing
innovation and teamwork. Social networks make it easy to find expertise and stay
connected to key contacts. People can self-organise to solve problems and meet customer
needs. Microsoft SharePoint delivers the power of social computing in the context
of a complete collaboration solution—right alongside the tools that people already
use every day to get work done and move your organisation forward.
