Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or MOSS 2007 is the latest version SharePoint - Microsoft's fastest growing software product. This page sets out some of the new features and functions in MOSS 2007.
Content Management
First, Microsoft has combined Content Management Server (CMS) 2002 with SharePoint. Even more than before, MOSS 2007 will be an excellent platform to build web sites for both internal and external users. MOSS 2007 now includes a web content editing feature which means that the author remains in the context of the Web page and enters new content using a feature-rich no-install Web content editor.
Document Management
With the new document management components of SharePoint 2007, SharePoint no longer simply provides a platform for document collaboration. MOSS 2007 will be a fully featured solution for managing business documents. Examples of enhancements include; improved workflow for editing and creating documents; enhanced document storage facilities; improved Microsoft Office integration; and improved policy controls of documents.
Records Management
Records management is the process of collecting, managing, and disposing of corporate records (information deemed important for the history, knowledge, or legal defence of a company) in a consistent and uniform manner based on the company’s policies. These policies are shaped by the type of work the organisation does, the kinds of legal risks it faces, and the laws and regulations that govern it.
Every organisation, whether privately held, publicly traded, or not-for-profit, needs a disciplined approach to record keeping. Proper records management is vital to an organisation’s knowledge management, legal and regulatory compliance policies. Office SharePoint Server 2007 introduces a new set of features for creating and supporting formal records management capabilities.
These are just some of the improvements in SharePoint. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Modcomp can help your organisation get the most from this latest version of Microsoft's powerful collaboration and information sharing portal.
