Which SharePoint Product Is Right for Your Organization?

Finding the right solution for your organization requires analysis of your business processes, needs, and environment. But here are some ways to determine which SharePoint product might be the best fit.

Windows SharePoint Services (WSS). If you need a team-based solution to help you collaborate or share information among dispersed teams, Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) may be the right tool for you. WSS lets you quickly create team-based Websites, or “team sites,” for specific projects, work groups, or offices, so group members can share common information. WSS team sites work well to address specific business problems. For example, you might set up team sites to handle all the details of an annual budgeting process—announcements, schedules, meeting agendas, task assignments, and review.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS). MOSS is an integrated suite of server capabilities that enables comprehensive content management and enterprise search, shared business processes, and information-sharing across boundaries, for better business insight. AKG is expert in implementing MOSS to meet a variety of business needs and fit a wide range of organizational cultures and work environments in the commercial, federal, and nonprofit sectors.

AKG is currently assisting clients in planning and executing upgrades to WSS v.3 and MOSS 2007.

MOSS can help:

• Manage content and processes
• Simplify compliance efforts and keep business information more secure through a comprehensive set of tools to manage and control electronic content
• Improve business insight
• Effectively monitor business drivers, empower better-informed decisions throughout the organization, and help you proactively respond to important business events
• Simplify internal and external collaboration
• Share knowledge, find information, and collaborate more easily and more securely both within and across organizational boundaries
• Empower IT to make a strategic impact
• Increase the responsiveness of IT to business needs
• Reduce the number of platforms to maintain, by supporting all intranets, extranets, and Web applications across the enterprise with one integrated platform
