SharePoint
Azurance’s Windows SharePoint hosting Service provides a secure and scalable portal environment for business units of all functions and sizes to increase efficiency of business processes and improve team collaboration. Delivering aggregated and organised information in one place, users can find relevant information quickly and efficiently anywhere, anytime with an internet connection. Team leaders simply create password-protected project portals for members to access and can share and work together on documents, tasks, projects, ideas and more, without exchanging inefficient emails.

Administration ToolsWindows SharePoint services assist site administrators in the following areas:
|
 |
Microsoft Office System IntegrationIntegration with Microsoft Office 2007 enables team members to do the following
|
 |
Announcement, Events, Task, & Contact ListsEvent Lists: Using an event list, post information about important dates or copy/link events to a compatible calendar program. Announcement Lists: Use an announcement list to post news, status, and other information, and set expiration dates for the announcement. Task Lists: Use a task list to assign a task to a team member, specify its priority/due date, and indicate its status and progress. Users view individual tasks assigned to them, as well as tasks assigned to other team members. Contact Lists: Contact lists enable team members to have access to telephone numbers, email addresses, or street addresses of clients, partners and vendors. Copy contact information in the address book to or from a contact list. This requires a compatible address book program such as Outlook 2007 or Internet Explorer 7.0. |
 |
Discussion BoardsDiscussion boards provide a forum for topics that interest your team. For example, you can create a discussion board that enables team members to propose and discuss ongoing activities. Each discussion board has icons for starting, sorting, filtering, switching views, or changing designs. |
 |
Notifications & AlertsSharePoint uses email alerts to notify users of important events and changes to lists, items, libraries, and other parts of the site. For example, users can choose to receive email alerts when a document published in a specific library is modified or deleted, or they can elect to receive immediate, daily, or weekly alerts for content included in the portal site index. |
 |
Integration with Office OutlookUsers can view calendars and contact lists stored on SharePoint sites, and create and manage sites for editing documents and organising meetings. Office Outlook 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services support a new set of significantly enhanced functionality including:
|
 |
Team WorkspacesYour Team Workspace is a Web environment focusing on one or more tasks, projects, or documents, such as a product launch, a company rebranding effort, or a new customer. Team members work together on documents, and periodically update copies that have been saved to the Team Workspace site. |
 |

Top 10 Benefits of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
1. Improve team productivity with easy-to-use collaborative tools
Connect people with the information and resources they need. Users can create team workspaces, coordinate calendars, organise documents, and receive important notifications and updates through communication features including announcements and alerts, as well as the new templates for creating blogs and wikis. While mobile, users can take advantage of convenient offline synchronisation capabilities.
2. Easily manage documents and help ensure integrity of content
With enhanced document management capabilities including the option to activate required document checkout before editing, the ability to view revisions to documents and restore to previous versions, and the control to set document- and item-level security, Windows SharePoint Services can help ensure the integrity of documents stored on team sites.
3. Get users up to speed quickly
User interface improvements in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 include enhanced views and menus that simplify navigation within and among SharePoint sites. Integration with familiar productivity tools, including programs in the Microsoft Office system, makes it easy for users to get up to speed quickly. For example, users can create workspaces, post and edit documents, and view and update calendars on SharePoint sites, all while working within Microsoft Office system files and programs.
4. Deploy solutions tailored to your business processes
While standard workspaces in Windows SharePoint Services are easy to implement, organisations seeking a more customised deployment can get started quickly with application templates for addressing specific business processes or sets of tasks.
5. Build a collaboration environment quickly and easily
Easy to manage and easy to scale, Windows SharePoint Services enables IT departments to deploy a collaborative environment with minimal administrative time and effort, from simple, single-server configurations to more robust enterprise configurations. Because deployment settings can be flexibly changed, less pre-planning time is required and companies can get started even faster.
6. Reduce the complexity of securing business information
Windows SharePoint Services provides IT with advanced administrative controls for increasing the security of information resources, while decreasing cost and complexity associated with site provisioning, site management, and support. Take advantage of better controls for site life-cycle management, site memberships and permissions, and storage limits.
7. Provide sophisticated controls for securing company resources
IT departments can now set permissions as deep down as the document or item level, and site managers, teams, and other work groups can initiate self-service collaborative workspaces and tasks within these preset parameters. New features enable IT to set top-down policies for better content recovery and users, groups, and team workspace site administration.
8. Take file sharing to a new level with robust storage capabilities
Windows SharePoint Services supplies workspaces with document storage and retrieval features, including check-in/check-out functionality, version history, custom metadata, and customisable views. New features in Windows SharePoint Services include enhanced recycle bin functionality for easier recovery of content and improved backup and restoration.
9. Easily scale your collaboration solution to meet business needs
Quickly and easily manage and configure Windows SharePoint Services using a Web browser or command-line utilities. Manage server farms, servers, and sites using the Microsoft .NET Framework, which enables a variety of custom and third-party administration solution offerings.
10. Provide a cost-effective foundation for building Web-based applications
Windows SharePoint Services exposes a common framework for document management and collaboration from which flexible and scalable Web applications and Internet sites, specific to the needs of the organisation, can be built. Integration with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 expands these capabilities further to offer enterprise-wide functionality for records management, search, workflows, portals, personalised sites, and more.
