Top Ten Benefits of Using Managed SharePoint 2007 in Your Business
When your company is growing and your IT tools are not supporting daily operations anymore it can be overwhelming to find new ways to improve your work environment. Use WebCentral's Managed SharePoint to help reorganise your business. The new SharePoint 2007 Application Templates are out-of-the-box custom scenarios that can immediately streamline internal and external-facing processes. Below, you will find ten reasons why SharePoint can help your business function more effectively.
- Improve team productivity with easy-to-use collaborative tools
Connect people with the information and resources they need. Users can create team workspaces, coordinate calendars, organise documents and receive important notifications and updates through communication features including announcements and alerts, as well as the new templates for creating blogs and wikis. Mobile users can take advantage of convenient offline synchronisation capabilities. - Easily manage documents and help ensure integrity of content
With enhanced document management capabilities including the option to activate required document checkout before editing, the ability to view revisions to documents and restore to previous versions, and the control to set document and item level security, Managed SharePoint 2007 can help ensure the integrity of documents stored on team sites. - Get users up to speed quickly
User interface improvements in Managed SharePoint 2007 include enhanced views and menus that simplify navigation within and among SharePoint sites. Integration with familiar productivity tools, including programs in the Microsoft Office family, make it easy for users to get up to speed quickly. For example, users can create workspaces, post and edit documents and view and update calendars on SharePoint sites, all while working within Microsoft Office system files and programs. - Deploy solutions tailored to your business processes
While standard workspaces in Managed SharePoint 2007 are easy to implement, organisations seeking a more customised deployment can get started quickly with application templates for addressing specific business processes or sets of tasks. - Build a collaboration environment quickly and easily
Easy to manage and easy to scale, Managed SharePoint 2007 enables IT departments to deploy a collaborative environment with minimal administrative time and effort, from simple, single-server configurations to more robust enterprise configurations. Because deployment settings can be flexibly changed, less planning time is required and companies can get started even faster. - Reduce the complexity of securing business information
Managed SharePoint 2007 provides IT with advanced administrative controls for increasing the security of information resources, while decreasing cost and complexity associated with site provisioning, site management and support. Take advantage of better controls for site life-cycle management, site memberships and permissions and storage limits. - Provide sophisticated controls for securing company resources
IT departments can now set permissions as deep down as the document or item level and site managers, teams and other work groups can initiate self-service collaborative workspaces and tasks within these preset parameters. New features enable IT to set top-down policies for better content recovery and users, groups and team workspace site administration. - Take file sharing to a new level with robust storage capabilities
Managed SharePoint 2007 supplies workspaces with document storage and retrieval features, including check-in/check-out functionality, version history, custom metadata and customisable views. New features include enhanced recycle bin functionality for easier recovery of content and improved backup and restoration. - Easily scale your collaboration solution to meet business needs
Quickly and easily manage and configure Managed SharePoint 2007 using a web browser. Manage server farms, servers and sites using the Microsoft .NET Framework, which enables a variety of custom and third-party administration solution offerings. - Provide a cost-effective foundation for building web-based applications
Windows SharePoint Services exposes a common framework for document management and collaboration from which flexible and scalable Web applications and internet sites, specific to the needs of the organisation, can be built. Integration with Managed SharePoint 2007 expands these capabilities further to offer enterprise-wide functionality for records management, search, workflows, portals, personalised sites and more.
