Build a Fully Integrated Enterprise Portal

Using the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services framework, Office SharePoint Server 2007 offers feature enhancements and new additions that provide you with all the necessary components to build a true enterprise portal platform.

Smooth Integration of Data
Office SharePoint Server 2007 comes with new and advanced collaboration features so you can integrate data; interact with spreadsheets, KPIs, and scorecards; and easily update and maintain version control over copies of constantly changing documents.
=> Business Data Catalog enables integration between the enterprise portal and line-of-business (LOB) programs.
=> Excel Services enables interaction with your spreadsheets through a Web browser or programmatically through a Web service.
=> Content reuse and distribution features enable you to copy documents to another SharePoint location and easily update those copies to match any changes later made to the original document.

Document Management
Document Management in Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides you with better control, organization, publishing, offline capabilities, enhanced draft item security, and rights management tools than previous versions.
=> Records management features help you maintain your company's most important information in the most organized way.
=> Information rights management verifies that a user has permission to view a file and issues a license to the user to access that file.
=> Search Center is a fully customizable search tool that helps you quickly and easily search for information.

Web Content Management
In Office SharePoint Server 2007, Web Content Management features enable you to site brand, create custom converters, and build multilingual sites and content deployment solutions. You can also create a multilingual site by creating a source site and then having that site translated into other languages, which are published as separate sites.
