Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 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.
Wow, that statement creates more questions than answers! Which is one of the problems when trying to describe SharePoint. You can go to Microsoft’s site for more info, but the advantage of SharePoint is that it can be different solutions for different businesses. You might think of it as “lotus notes” on steroids.
SharePoint can provide singular services to your organization, as pointed out in the “At a Glance” sidebar, but the real power comes from customizing several of SharePoint’s integrated services to provide a sophisticated business process that extends beyond your businesses ERP and internal network.
For an example of what UBS can do for your business using SharePoint, take a look at the SchoolKidz white paper here and at Microsoft. UBS can take the seemingly daunting collection of SharePoint services and translate them into a unified business process.
For even more power and functionality, you can combine Dynamics GP with SharePoint for an “out of the box” experience second to none. Portals, dynamic Excel reports, SRS reports, all come with Dynamics GP and can be used “as-is” or customized to fit your unique requirements.
