Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 provide an enterprise information management and collaboration solution platform, enabling organizations to develop an intelligent portal that seamlessly connects users, teams, and knowledge so that people can take advantage of relevant information across business processes to help them work more efficiently.
SharePoint Server 2007 uses Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites to create portal pages for people, information, and organizations. The portal also extends the capabilities of Windows SharePoint Services sites with organization and management tools, and enables teams to publish information in their sites to the entire organization.
Windows SharePoint Services allows teams to create Web sites for information sharing and document collaboration, as well as many functional components including calendar sharing, survey creation, threaded discussion, subscription-based alerts, and document management. These benefits are proven to increase individual and team productivity.
