About Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) and Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) are two exceptional products Microsoft has introduced to the business community. Both products create web-based services for companies to utilize for content and document management, workflow processes, and collaboration within their internal, external, and extranet network environments.  

There are currently three versions in the SharePoint family of technology offerings:

• Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS): This provides the basic “building blocks” for SharePoint Technologies. WSS is available as a free download from Microsoft and is designed for small to mid-sized companies for simple document management and team collaboration. This version of the product is extremely simplistic in design and limited in scope to its capabilities.
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) - Standard Edition: The standard edition of MOSS is available through resellers--it is the ideal solution for most mid-large sized organizations and is considered to be a full, server-based solution presented in a traditional "Portal" style atmosphere. The standard edition is a perfect solution for many organizations due to its enhanced capabilities.
• Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) – Enterprise Edition: The enterprise edition of MOSS builds on the features of the other MOSS versions by adding line-of-business connectivity to other applications, a fully functional enterprise version of Excel services, InfoPath Forms, and other features designed to meet the most rigorous of business requirements.

The chart below demonstrates how Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) integrates with the entire family of Microsoft Office products and technologies. Many essential features of SharePoint are built on top of the free version included with Windows Small Business Server (in fact, WSS is included free with every release of the Microsoft Windows Operating System  beginning with Microsoft Windows Server 2000 with service pack 2 and later).

About Our Windows Small Business Server SharePoint Team

Exiis Corporation’s Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) Team for Microsoft Windows Small Business Server networks consist of highly trained Microsoft Certified Professionals who specialize in delivering solutions based on Windows SharePoint Services. Windows SharePoint Services Consultants can assist your business or organization in planning, designing, and implementing Windows SharePoint Services within your environment, leveraging the power of Microsoft SBS, SQL, and Exchange Server services. Our team works with Windows SharePoint Services on a daily basis, providing real-world experience, solutions, and answers to your most commonly asked questions. No matter where you are at with Windows SharePoint—if you’re just starting out, building on an existing deployment, planning to migrate or upgrade, or are ready to move to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, our team of consultants and support engineers can assist you in achieving your goals.

Structured, Managed Approach to SharePoint Solutions

When planning and designing a SharePoint solution, our SharePoint consultants will take the time to explain how Windows SharePoint Services will benefit your organization. By understanding your current filing structure, document management and collaboration processes, we will be able to map your business requirements directly to a well structured Windows SharePoint Services solution.

Once a SharePoint taxonomy design plan has been completed and approved, out SharePoint consultants will work closely with executive and business managers, key employees, and key personnel. During this process, we will encourage questions, discover additional requirements, and demonstrate how easy it is for users to change, modify, customize, and manipulate document libraries, lists, and other storage areas.  In addition to these simple operational tasks we can assist team and departmental leads in the creation of additional storage areas, manipulation of how that information is displayed, and assist in basic security practices.

Assistance with Team Sites and Collaboration

The majority sites created within Windows SharePoint are referred to as “Team Sites”. Team Sites allow for two or more individuals to come together at once central location to share documents, collaborate on projects, and report on the progress made throughout the lifecycle of a single project. Strategic advantages to Team Sites are their ability to create “Key Performance Indicators” or “KPIs for short. KPIs consist of colored charts and graphs that keep the team on-track on a real-time basis. By providing these easily created charts and graphs, users within the organization and view the progress of the project at a quick glance and drill down deeper to areas that need the most attention.

Centralize Company Announcements, Changes, and Commonly Used Documents

Without the need for complicated coding experience and with proper planning and design, Windows SharePoint Services can meet some of the most rigid communication requirements for small business owners. By manipulating site content an combining out-of-the-box web parts, small business owners can quickly and easily create a single web site where everyone can view company announcements, follow and plan for key changes occurring in the organization, and are able to either download commonly used forms or fill in these forms on the SharePoint site. Electronically capturing commonly used forms and saving them on the company’s SharePoint site, a process known as “Workflows” can be applied to the finished form. “Workflows” provide for documents to be routed and approved to the appropriate supervisor or department seamlessly and automatically without the need for additional intervention. Once forms or documents are approved, the user can receive a confirmation via the company’s e-mail system informing them the process has been completed.

Complete Documentation and Knowledge Transfer

Professional consulting firms follow a strict methodology for providing clear and concise documentation of the services they provide. When documentation is completed, clients have a complete understanding of whom and why decisions regarding their SharePoint design and implementation together with the reason those decisions were applied. When documentation is transferred to the client, it provides complete knowledge transfer at the same time—allowing network administrators, business managers, and owners with a complete understanding of how everything works. Additionally, the consulting firm is usually available to answer additional questions or to offer additional supplemental information to the client on an “as-needed” basis.
