Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps your organisation 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.
Improve team productivity
High performing teams are a key to better business results.
- Give users the ability to create and control their own collaborative workspaces. Make it easy for teams to adapt workspaces to the needs of the project.
- Manage projects more efficiently with the project task list template. Visualise task relationships and project status with automated Gantt charts.
- Co-ordinate teamwork with shared calendars, alerts and notifications. Connect team calendars to the desktop with Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007.
- Communicate with team members in context using presence and instant messaging.
- Make it easy to include and work with team members from outside the organisation.
Author, review and publish documents
Improvements in key document-centric processes produce better content in less time.
- Use document workspaces to streamline the document creation process.
- Enable disconnected participation with offline support.
- Manage the document lifecycle with integrated Enterprise Content Management (ECM) capabilities.

- Drive out process variation with workflow.
- Create collaborative applications using integrated application development capabilities.
Create, capture and share community knowledge
- Sharing best practices in expert communities drives awareness and adoption of business process innovation.
