Microsoft SharePoint
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is an integrated suite of
server capabilities that can help improve organizational
effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management and
enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and
facilitating information-sharing across boundaries for better
business insight. Office SharePoint Server supports all intranet,
extranet, and Web applications across an enterprise within one
integrated platform, instead of relying on separate fragmented
systems. Additionally, this collaboration and content management
server provides IT professionals and developers with the platform
and tools they need for server administration, application
extensibility, and interoperability.
Kiandra is a highly skilled and experienced SharePoint
solution provider.
Features and benefits
Office SharePoint Server is tightly integrated with familiar
client desktop applications, e-mail, and Web browsers to provide a
consistent user experience that simplifies how people interact with
content, processes, and business data. This tight integration,
coupled with robust out-of-the-box functionality, helps you employ
services themselves and facilitates product adoption. Take
advantage of out-of-the-box workflows for initiating, tracking, and
reporting common business activities such as document review and
approval, issue tracking, and signature collection. Tight
integration with familiar client applications, e-mail, and Web
browsers provide you with a simple, consistent experience.
By specifying security settings, storage policies, auditing
policies, and expiration actions for business records in accordance
with compliance regulations, you can help ensure your sensitive
business information can be controlled and managed effectively.
Tight integration of Office SharePoint Server with familiar desktop
applications means that policy settings are rendered onto client
applications in the Microsoft Office system, making it simpler for
employees to be aware of and comply with regulatory requirements.
Business users and content authors can create and submit content
for approval and scheduled deployment to intranet or Internet
sites. Managing multilingual content is simplified through new
document library templates that are specifically designed to
maintain a relationship between the original version and different
translations of a document.
Give your users access to business data found in common
line-of-business systems like SAP and Siebel through Office
SharePoint Server. Users can also create personalised views and
interactions with business systems through a browser by dragging
configurable back-end connections. Enterprise-wide Managed Document
Repositories help your organisations store and organise business
documents in one central location. Enterprise Search in Office
SharePoint Server incorporates business data along with information
about documents, people, and Web pages to produce comprehensive,
relevant results. Features like duplicate collapsing, spelling
correction, and alerts improve the relevance of the results, so you
can easily find what you need.
You can use smart, electronic forms-driven solutions to collect
critical business information from customers, partners, and
suppliers through a Web browser. Built-in data validation rules
help you gather accurate and consistent data that can be directly
integrated into back-end systems to avoid redundancy and errors
that result from manual data re-entry. Give your employees access
to real-time, interactive Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheets from
a Web browser through Excel Services running on Office SharePoint
Server. Use these spreadsheets to maintain and efficiently share
one central and up-to-date version while helping to protect any
proprietary information embedded in the documents (such as
financial models).
Office SharePoint Server makes it easy to create live,
interactive business intelligence (BI) portals that assemble and
display business-critical information from disparate sources, using
integrated BI capabilities such as dashboards, Web Parts,
scorecards, key performance indicators (KPIs), and business data
connectivity technologies. Centralised Report Center sites give
users a single place for locating the latest reports, spreadsheets,
or KPIs. Office SharePoint Server is built on an open, scalable
architecture, with support for Web services and interoperability
standards including XML and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
The server has rich, open application programming interfaces (APIs)
and event handlers for lists and documents. These features provide
integration with existing systems and the flexibility to
incorporate new non-Microsoft IT investments.
