Organizational intranets are evolving from being an employee collaboration and document sharing platform to be a more powerful platform that incorporates the best of breed features of new generation technologies and solutions. The concepts of mash up applications with web 2.0 technologies are being brought into the intranets to provide a single source of truth to the entire organization in a self service manner, with users given the primary focus as the contributors to the content of the intranet through collaboration tools and business solutions.
For a continuously successful intranet implementation, a clear strategy and plan needs to be created with dedicated teams to manage the intranet environment. This will allow your organization to easily identify the corporate intranet needs and implement the same in a structured and phased manner, aid in marketing the intranet as a business tool to the users, and allow them to gracefully accept the intranet in an efficient way.
The success of an intranet is totally dependent on the users as well as the ease of management of the infrastructure. It is very critical that the every piece of information from within or outside the organization must reside on the intranet which can be easily accessed by users and centrally managed. SharePoint is a ideal platform with capabilities like integrated document management, content management, extensible search, self service approach based interface and capabilities to extend the platform with the use of development frameworks which can be utilized to configure the intranet as a single source of truth for all the user communities across the organization.
Implementing an intranet and configuring it to deliver information must be the beginning of a phased approach that will transform the intranet to be a business tool for the organization. Applications and utilities should be implemented that would promote individual level, team level, departmental level and organizational level process automation. Moreover, Extranets should work together with the Intranets to provide and extended Enterprise which reaches out to the customers, partners etc. SharePoint can be a single platform that can be extended to provide collaboration and business applications that can not only cater to the employee requirements, but also to the collaboration requirements of customers, partners etc. via an extranet.
To support the informational, collaboration and business requirements of users located in offices that are sprawled across the globe, the intranet must be capable of delivering content with multi-lingual support, and truly integrate the teams across the world to seamlessly work together. SharePoint with its multi lingual capabilities and site variations provides a centralized management console with regional and localization settings, which can be easily used to deliver information to the audiences across the globe.
We believe that Microsoft SharePoint provides such an infrastructure and collaboration capabilities with innate extension and integration features, and can be effectively used as a platform to bring together distributed teams by providing centralized collaboration and process management capabilities with contextual information delivery.

Social Networking With SharePoint
With the advent of Web 2.0, the concept of Social Networking has experienced a great deal of visibility as a means to increase productivity, through shared knowledge amongst groups of people or communities. And with this concept really taking off on the Internet, there is acknowledgment, within organizations, of the fact that the community concept really is a means of developing, harnessing and maintaining long term organizational memory, and communities are in fact an effective way for organizations to capture unstructured data, and to share knowledge outside of the traditional structural boundaries.
It has been further observed that Social Networking within enterprises can also assist in the extinction of Information and capability silos by identifying subject matter experts and resources. The fact that now it could be possible to discover and identify people, teams and information related to their specific initiatives and efforts, through an understanding of the web model, has information workers wanting these social networking applications at their disposal more than ever. And even Organizations have started to realize the potential of these applications and as a mechanism to unlock and surface unstructured data and valuable information.
Having said that, it is absolutely essential for organizations to invest in, and choose the right kind of application to host these solutions. And we are going to discuss, in this article, about how SharePoint's inherent Social Networking capabilities, along with its robust platform could just be the right application for you.
Some of the Social Networking Components of SharePoint
User Profile: This is the Profile information of a user, where users store their personal information.
My Sites: These are personalized Sites created for each user, allowing him to create blogs, wikis, store his personal documents, Share information with others, etc.
Organizational Hierarchy Web Part: This Web Part shows, where the user is situated, in terms of hierarchy, in the corporate pantheon.
Colleagues Web Part: This web Part allows the user to mention who colleagues are and define his relationship with them though the use of Meta data.
People Search: This feature allows users to be able to search for colleagues based on filter criteria.
Though SharePoint, does not have all the components to be called a complete Social Networking Solution, such as bookmarking, Tagging, the ability to publish this internal data on the Internet, and more extensive support for Forms based authentication, etc, but nevertheless, It is a great platform for building robust and flexible Enterprise 2.0 solutions that are extensible and secure, and leverage Web 2.0 in a holistic fashion to empower business users, and help organizations become more agile, efficient and productive, all in a seamless and secure fashion., but it is a great starting point, and given the fact that it is already being touted as a great publishing and Business platform, and with the progress being made in the social networking aspects, it is a good platform to bet on.

SharePoint - The New Face of Your Enterprise Architecture
Business Users today have to operate on tens, if not hundreds of applications, as part of their daily routine to run through their quota of work, moving from one silo to another to another, and if that isn't enough, the increased application access and password complexity, making it absolutely hard to maintain focus on their core jobs. Add to that, a lack of interoperability between these systems, and a lack of a truly integrated experience, and you've just defined virtual hell. Not to mention, the virtual nightmare that it is, for the IT departments, to manage and maintain these varied platforms and applications on a day to day basis.
In a world where the focus has moved from "one solution for all " to "doing one thing, and doing it right", vendors are building software solutions that meet some specific need and Enterprises, in an attempt to stay current, and to give their employees the best-of-the-breed software end up bringing in a myriad of applications and platforms within their environments. The result: "Virtual Hell".

SharePoint Performance and Website Speed
Those of you who use Microsoft SharePoint 2007 for hosting your web site are probably used to speedy page load times and a rich set of features to offer your visitors. The thing is however your experience may not be what the majority of Internet users will experience when they visit your page.

Website speed is incredibly important in overall guest satisfaction, and has been proven to increase sales as well as overall SharePoint performance. If a hard earned visitor is interested in your web site, but when they try and visit they are met with slow load times and a laggy response, you can guarantee that they will close your page and find one that performs better.

What this means is that it take less requests on your SharePoint server to complete send the page, and this means less stress on your web server. You can also start benefiting right away with an up to 50% reduction in your bandwidth costs alone.
In short, the benefits of using website optimization software is far reaching and essential to give your website the edge against its competitor’s. Before you start worrying that all these optimizations are going to take countless man hours to set up know this, Aptimize requires absolutely no change to your current website’s code and all these optimizations are preconfigured to your specific web server within minutes of installing.

Building Extranets in SharePoint Hosting Sites With WSS 3.0
SharePoint 3.0 hosting in extranet mode makes it extremely easy to open up hosted SharePoint web sites for external access. Building extranet in SharePoint hosting sites offers more enhanced support for authenticated third party users in dispersed communities.
Building extranets in SharePoint hosting sites with WSS 3.0, using internet protocols creates a private network to securely share information on operations or, any other level with pre-approved users. These users include vendors, partners, suppliers, customers and other businesses. This B2B environment is kept in complete isolation from other internet users. Extranet in a SharePoint hosting site may be viewed as part of the company internet which has been extended to other users. Basically it is intranet mapped onto the public domain.
Web sites making use of extranet SharePoint WSS solutions allow business managers to share information in an extended business environment. Security is in place to ensure security information and compliance standards are met. Localized IT staff is able to manage extranet users even if these scale into the thousands. A new layer of security has been integrated into SharePoint 3.0 hosting, and this has improved the level of protection of hosted SharePoint web sites. Stringent security is required by extranet and SharePoint WSS is able to provide this.
Building extranets in hosting Sites expands authentication choices and provides a central point for group management, and extranet users which span into multiple SharePoint operations. Building extranets in hosted sites securely extends communication, document management and collaboration beyond the boundaries of the organization, and will improve operations with suppliers, distributors, partners and customers alike.

Blogging For Test - SharePoint As a Blog
This is the first article in a series designed to help answer the questions "What can SharePoint do?", and "How do I do that with SharePoint?". Today we are going to show you how easy it is to implement a blog using your hosted SharePoint account. Later on in the series, we will take on subjects like basic websites, SharePoint design and different types of sharing and collaboration servers.
On to SharePoint as a Blog.
The very first thing we will do is navigate our preferred web browser to the URL of our hosted SharePoint account. When the authentication pops up, enter your user name and password, and press enter.Once logged in you will be presented with the default view of your Administration panel. The SharePoint site that I am using as a demo for this series looks like this:
My Default Screen
From here, we need to click on "View All Site Content" at the top of the navigation bar at the left. This brings up a page that gives you information on all the content that is currently hosted by your site. My demo site is already set up for one blog, so it looks like this:
A view of all the content on my Sharepoint Site
The next step is to click the "Create" button to go to the "Create" page. This is where you will go to make anything for your site, but for right now, we are looking for "Sites and Workspaces". Follow that link to the "New Sharepoint Site" page. Here is where we really get started:
1. Give your blog a name and a description. My demo blog is going to be "Bligitty Blog". Remember that the title you choose will be displayed on each page of the site.
2. Designate a web address for your blog. You will notice that the URL of your blog is the URL of your main site with the addition of the name you choose.
Input your title, description, and URL.
3. Select your language and template. The template we are going to use is "Blog", so select it in the template list under the "Collaboration" tab.
4. Set permissions. Here you have the choice to use the same permissions as your main site, or use a unique set of permissions for your blog. For the purposes of the tutorial, we are going to use the same settings as our parent site.
5. Set up your navigation and navigation inheritance. These two options allow you to add links from this site in the navigation of your main site and inherit the top menu bar if you wish. We are choosing "yes" for all of these options, but you can just as easily say "no".
6. Click the "Create" button. Bang! Done and done.
You now have a fully functioning SharePoint based blog, ready to rock and roll, and inform the world! Admin links to the right allow you to manage or add new posts, set blog permissions, manage comments and other blog admin tasks. Now get to work posting your content!

Ways to Use SharePoint Effectively in Your Business
We're listing some common business needs that can be solved by using a SharePoint Services 3.0 site. Maybe you'll find a few things here that you've been trying to find a solution for within your own organization.
I'd like to share with you the top 20 ways that SharePoint can solve your common business needs. And I want to emphasize that these 20 are only a few of the many ways to utilize the SharePoint Services. Once you start using it, you will begin to realize the many other valuable benefits that can easily be accomplished by the everyday user.
Shall we get started? Let's see if you can find a few productivity solutions here that you've been trying to find for your own organization.
With SharePoint you can:
1. Store all your emails on a secure and centralized Website for easy archive.
2. Keep a central task location for assigning tasks to team members. These tasks will automatically show up in your team's Outlook 2007 To-Do List. Those tasks will also link to your projects so you can easily find out what tasks are still open for each project.
3. Organize large events and store the related documents, assigned tasks, and generally post anything and everything related to the events. It will also integrate with Outlook for added efficiency.
4. Collaborate with team members on all documents and stay on top of who did what. Earlier versions can easily be restored in case someone has made too many mistakes. Projects can also be linked to related documents.
5. When tasks are assigned to team members they'll automatically be notified that they've just been assigned a new task. Alerts are sent when there have been updates to the tasks.
6. Use SharePoint as a robust, but simple project management solution for your organization or team.
7. Use the efficient check-in / check-out management feature to sort your documents.
8. Implement a help ticket resolution for your organization or team without breaking the bank.
9. Start a private company blog to communicate and share ideas with your team that's viewable only by those you give access to.
10. Gain more control over your company's documents with the content approval function.
11. Offer training materials to your teams, clients, and/or partners in a password-protected Website that can be accessed anywhere in the world.
12. Offer a secure and private place to share documents and other information with clients and/or partners.
13. Access and work with your data using your Internet-enabled mobile phone for added convenience while traveling or out of the office at client meetings.
14. Create better team communication and brainstorming sessions where everyone can participate when their schedules permit.
15. Centralize where company and team project announcements are posted. Everyone will receive a notification via email or mobile phone automatically, anywhere in the world.
16. Take the project tasks, team discussions, company contacts, centralized calendars, team blogs, and files offline. and then sync the updated information later on.
17. Create "central" documents (and syncronize), so all team members, clients, and/or partners are able to work on the same document and make changes. Updates are accessible with a click of a button. Everyone can then sync back to the "central" document and have all edits merged into that single document.
18. Easily add custom fields to any area and capture the information that's most important to your company, all without the help of a web designer or IT person.
19. Pull up and update Microsoft Access 2007 database from a local desktop and sync information to a central location that can be accessed from any where at any time.
20. Create a project dashboard where on one page you can view and filter on common project elements, such as: project details, project documents, project tasks, project issues, project calendar, project milestones, project lessons learned, project risks, project change orders, and more.
On top of it all, you won't spend a fortune to meet these communication, collaboration, and organizational needs.
Don't even get me started about the integration features between SharePoint Services 3.0 and the Microsoft Office 2007 products, especially Outlook 2007 - It's fantastic! A few of the ideas above do require Office 2007.
Keep in mind that a little training goes a long way in increasing productivity in the products you use in your business. I highly recommend taking the time to learn this efficient and effective tool and watch your productivity, along with your profits, soar!

3 Useful Applications For Microsoft SharePoint WSS
3 Useful Things SharePoint WSS can do without Upgrading to MOSS
When most people think of SharePoint, they think of giant intranet sites that multinational companies use to manage content and communicate internally. They think of months of customization and design, complex licensing, and long returns on investment. In short, they think of SharePoint MOSS with all of the bells and whistles.
But there's good news. SharePoint WSS is free. It's fast to set up, and best of all, it's useful. Many small businesses are finding huge value in SharePoint WSS without the development and licensing fees a full MOSS deployment.
Of course, the question is, "What does it do?" The following are 3 useful things to do with SharePoint WSS without endless development or upgrading to MOSS.
SharePoint WSS Document Collaboration
Although some of the more abstract collaboration tools (Wikis, Profiles, Social networking) in Microsoft SharePoint rarely get much traction, the document collaboration tools are usually very popular and useful.
Let's say HR is designing the new employee manual. SharePoint WSS allows the company to create a webpage with bulletined boards and discussion threads about the manuals. HR can survey employees. Check in / Check out keeps different employees from editing the document at the same time, which saves version hassles down the road. Past versions of the documents are also accessible, and as each employee checks the document back in, they can make notes on their changes.
Use Views to make Team Calendars really useful.
Most companies use team calendars and company calendars to list events, deadlines, and meetings in one place. These calendars can even be integrated with Microsoft Outlook. It's one of the most popular features.
Views make calendars really useful because they allow users to filter events by type. Instead of seeing 20 events on the same date that may or may not be pertinent, users can filter events by type to only what they want to see.
If a user just wants to see the availability of the large conference room, and an overlay of the upcoming deadlines and his own availability, views will filter out all of the other appointments.
Resources library
One of the best uses of SharePoint WSS is to create a resource center for employees. Common documents everyone uses can be stored in one place with a familiar web interface and easy searching.
Store client information, reference materials, company information and forms, marketing materials, and anything else the company uses on the site.

How Windows Sharepoint Services Will Benefit Your Small Business
Sharing of business data in small business used to be a nice thing to have; however in today’s business environment it is rapidly becoming a necessity in order to compete in the marketplace. Never has the demand for collaboration inside your small business, across multiple locations, geographic regions or with partners and clients been needed as it is today. Many small businesses continue to struggle with the concept of collaboration and how to do it effectively.
When collaboration in the workplace occurs effectively, productivity inside the business skyrockets, suddenly you can do more with fewer resources, both human and technical and the workforce is happy because they can work from virtually anywhere. The flipside of effective collaboration is exactly the opposite, productivity goes way down, dependence on technology support skyrockets, and the added cost is reflective in your human capital and expenses. Your team becomes frustrated and even may leave your firm when the tools are not available to do their jobs effectively, wherever and whenever they need to perform their tasks.
Introducing a new way to share business data! It is not that new actually; Windows SharePoint Services is starting to catch on in the small business market, larger corporations have been using document management systems for quite some time. Just like having your email hosted in house took a little time for the small business market to embrace, now SharePoint Services is making its way into the SMB market.
The added value of SharePoint Services is that many small businesses already own the solution; they just don’t realize that they do. Windows 2003 Server or 2003 Small Business Server have SharePoint Services included, however many businesses never implement it, this could be the result of poor IT services or just a lack of awareness of the solution and the power it brings. Small Business need strong outsourced IT services that will introduce new solutions like SharePoint Services to them and help them to understand how these new solutions will benefit them and their business.
How can your small business get ready for Windows SharePoint Services?

• SharePoint Services is a tool to enhance collaboration in the workplace. In order to have the technology work for your business, you need to foster an environment that promotes collaboration. Without this environment, no technology tool will ever work. Business owners today need to make sure that the lines of communication inside their business are flowing in both directions.
• Once you have your people factors settled, then the technology can be allowed to enhance that. Still in this day, many people are nervous about what technology can do. The younger workforce has been collaborating and using technology for quite some time, however many people that have been in the workplace for a while, have concerns about technology. The message in your firm needs to be that this technology solution will aid in the employees overall success and when we are all successful, the company is successful.
Windows SharePoint Services offer some of the following benefits to a small business:

Inside the document libraries you can secure your information and set rights on what people can do or see, control document versions plus so much more.
• Shared calendars are available inside Windows SharePoint Services where you can post corporate events, important dates, meetings or whatever calendar information you need to post. With the calendar and many other features inside SharePoint you can also view this information inside your Microsoft Outlook application on your desktop.

New product launches, important information or any other announcement that you may have in the past, broadcasted out via email to your entire team.
• Have online feeds sent right to your SharePoint site. SharePoint can link into any RSS feed service. This is great if you want to show items such as road reports, weather conditions, stock prices and any other information you need to see when released. SharePoint will become the portal for your small business to get the information you need.
• Another powerful tool inside SharePoint Services is the ability to control workflow process. Does your business suffer from workflow challenges? How does your business suffer when your team skips steps in the process? What if you had a tool that would increase productivity and results by managing workflow? Would your business prosper?
The most important tip to a successful implementation of Windows SharePoint is to keep it simple.
