SharePoint 2007 - Example Benefits

People in your organisation need to work together in teams. The team membership may be dynamic and will vary by project. SharePoint enables you to quickly produce a Workspace for connecting teams and working together. The Workspace will be easily available via your intranet and can be made available via the web to your customers or partners. A Workspace is a type of SharePoint site designed for collaboration. SharePoint 2007 provides templates for building Workspaces or you can custom build your own.

Information in many organisations is spread across various locations; on file servers or even on individual's desktop PCs. Managing information across multiple locations can be time consuming and sometimes extremely complex. SharePoint 2007 provides a single point of access for information. A good example is the use of Document Libraries. Using SharePoint Document Libraries you can produce documents using Office 2007, upload them and check documents in and out, as well as track old versions.

SharePoint 2007 enables you to search across SharePoint Sites, document libraries and filestores. This potentially gives you the power to access information across the whole organisation in the same way you would use a search engine on the web. At the same time, you can still control access as you might want to restrict access to some information e.g. HR information. SharePoint 2007 allows the document contents to be fully indexed for searching across all your organisation's sites. This indexing includes full-text search of file servers, web sites, Exchange server folders, PDF documents, Active Directories, SharePoint sites and more.

Approval routing can be achieved by creating a SharePoint WorkFlow Engine. Other workflow features in SharePoint include Alerts and Audience Targeting. Alerts can be used to notify a user when a document or application has been added or changed. Audience targeting enables IT groups to push relevant information and applications to a group of users with similar roles or interests.
