enterprise collaboration - Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server can be used to facilitate collaboration, manage content, implement business processes, and make critical information available in various ways to help achieve organizational goals.

SharePoint provides an easy-to-use, collaborative working environment where users can have their own profiles, blogs, team workspaces, calendars and organizers. Users can set up and manage a variety of different alerts and notifications from different sources. SharePoint also provides a customizable user interface where users can add or remove components as required. SharePoint is an integrated system with single point accessibility. It includes a number of highly functional features and capabilities including:

  • Online Collaboration - to help teams work together efficiently, share resources and implement workflows.

  • Portals - to easily create portals customized to critical roles within the organization.

  • Enterprise Search - to quickly find information across business applications.

  • Enterprise Content Management - to create and manage documents, records, and related Web content.

  • Business Process and Forms - to automate and streamline business activities by creating workflows and maintaining forms to capture and review key information.

  • Business Intelligence - to help knowledge workers quickly access and analyze vital business information and publish reports.

  • Custom Web Components - for specialized functionality. Aeturnum has experience in developing custom web components for SharePoint.

Many organizations already have a SharePoint portal in place - often for managing and accessing content. Aeturnum’s Search Solutions Frame­work leverages FAST technology to enhance SharePoint’s content search capabilities and extend its ac­cess to a variety of data sources across the enterprise including the Internet, e-mail databases, audio and video files, document images and other internal and external repositories. Aeturnum enables FAST to unify all these search results and display them via the SharePoint UI.
