Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 builds on the collaboration foundation implemented in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0
and adds support for content publishing, content management, records management, enterprise search and business intelligence.
Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides a single, integrated location where employees can efficiently collaborate with team
members, find organizational resources, search for experts and corporate information, manage content and workflow, and leverage
business insight to make better-informed decisions.
Collaboration and Social Computing:
- Allow teams to work together effectively, collaborate on and publish documents, maintain task lists, implement workflows and share information through the use of Wikis and Blogs.
- Through social computing capabilities within their existing workspace and portal infrastructure, end users can more easily harness the collective intelligence of the organization.
Portals:
- Use world class Enterprise Portal capabilities to build and maintain portal sites for every aspect of your business.
- Personalize the user experience and content of an enterprise Web site based on the user’s profile.
- Create a personal MySite portal to share information with others.
Enterprise Search:
- Quickly and easily find people, expertise, and content in business applications.
- Index and search across SharePoint sites, intranet and Internet websites, file shares and business applications.
Enterprise Content Management:

Business Process and Forms:

Business Intelligence:
- Allow information workers to easily access critical business information, analyze and view data, and publish reports to make more informed decisions.
- Use Excel Services, part of Office SharePoint Server 2007, to extend the capabilities of Microsoft Office Excel 2007 by allowing broad sharing of spreadsheets, improved manageability and security and the ability to re-use spreadsheet models using a scalable server-based calculation service and interactive Web-based user interface.
- Create interactive business intelligence (BI) dashboards that assemble and display business information from disparate sources by using built in Web Parts.
