 Business Forms |
Many organizations are moving away from paper-based forms to reduce cost and environmental impact. As a result, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 includes features that allow you to capture content in electronic formats, extending the ability to gather and consume data across your entire enterprise, including customers, partners and suppliers.
Known as InfoPath Forms Services in SharePoint Server 2010, you can render forms in a browser window, mobile device or as part an e-mail message. You can then manage the integration of these electronic forms within the SharePoint environment, providing centralized management, versioning and deployment for your form templates.
Best of all, you don’t need to be an IT expert to create highly-customized solutions. SharePoint’s advanced browser-based form-rendering technology lets just about anyone design forms – including those that enhance the user experience as well as those that function as front-end data-gathering tools for related products and your line-of-business applications – all from the comfort of a standard Internet browser.

In today’s business environment, working effectively means working together. And with SharePoint 2010 Communities, the people in your organization are free to work together onsite or in the cloud through a single, highly-integrated platform.
SharePoint 2010 enables you to implement a dependable, collaborative infrastructure that requires little maintenance and is completely scalable to your business. This system delivers a versatile set of performance-enhancing tools, allowing users to quickly tap into the necessary employees, expertise and organizational resources.
The days of endless e-mail chains, conference calls and centralized network drives are gone. Collaboration within a SharePoint environment is the key to modern productivity, providing streamlined content approval and workflows. It allows end-users to perform their function from any location, uploading documents, spreadsheets and presentations to a shared workspace. SharePoint collaboration features include:
· Personal profiles
· Colleague networks
· Organization browser
· Blogs
· Wikis
· Version control for document management
· Document libraries
· Rating capability
· Tagging
· E-mail integration
· Audio/Video streaming direct from library
· Alerts and notifications
· Lists (easily assigned throughout members of your team, including tasks, issues, announcements, and custom lists modified or created to meet your needs
· Two-stage recycle bin (providing an extra level of protection against the accidental deletion of important files or documents)
Designed to guide your employees through the business requirements you’ve established, SharePoint 2010 ensures a uniform appearance for the content they access and create, saving time while preventing fruitless searches. It also features tools that include centralized configuration options and individual privacy options, delivering reliable security with a minimum of IT maintenance – all managed through a single platform.
Best of all, with Microsoft Office productivity applications, your people can use Access, Excel and other familiar software tools while collaborating in a SharePoint environment, drastically reducing the costs associated with training and implementation.
In addition, SharePoint 2010 includes a security-trimmed user interface (UI). Allowing people to view only the resources they have permission to access, the UI prevents users from attempting to perform administrative actions or accessing information beyond the scope or necessity of their duties.

Many companies produce large amounts of Web-based content, both for themselves and their customers. Updating this content, which typically has a short lifespan, is labor intensive and in some cases even impossible. But with SharePoint 2010, you can streamline your Web publishing life cycle.
The Enterprise Content Management feature within Microsoft SharePoint 2010 provides end-users with a reliable framework where they can author content on a website and publish it either manually or set up deployment on a pre-defined schedule. In addition, the inclusion of an expiration date allows your team to spend less time on the removal of your site’s content by automatically deleting outdated material.
Enterprise Content Management includes records and document management as well as an automatic workflow to obtain the necessary approvals before the content appears on a public-facing site. Each document is also tagged with a unique document ID. So if that content moves, users will be able to find it no matter where it lives.
Equally as important, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 contains an auditing feature that provides security and regulatory compliance, delivering a high level of business transparency while enabling your business units to manage their unique Internet presence without having to rely on IT support. Closely connected to Microsoft Office, it provides a familiar platform that your people are comfortable with and are therefore easily able to use. This system reduces the need for extensive training and simplifies the administrative process.
Plus, compliance officers can view detailed reporting at the individual level and across repositories, allowing them to closely monitor variables that include user access, record status and litigation holds.

Incomplete or missing information is one of the biggest corruptors of effectiveness for internal and external users. Microsoft SharePoint 2010 has expedited the simplicity of retrieving information by implementing broad and powerful index and search capabilities within the SharePoint environment.
Providing the ability to catalog just about anything, including sites, documents and related content, the search capability places information at the fingertips of employees throughout your organization, enabling them to answer questions and respond to issues immediately.
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 allows users to sift through 100 million documents in a single search and scan across all indexed content, including SharePoint, Exchange, file server shares, databases and websites. You can even search for people within your organization and their related expertise or crawl for additional content outside the SharePoint environment simply and securely with the SharePoint 2010 Search Connector Framework.
Additional search features also include Boolean query syntax, suggestions while typing and federated results for tapping into large databases outside SharePoint. Plus, relevance capabilities place the most pertinent information at the top of a result set while making that set highly-customizable and user-friendly through the inclusion of the ‘Did You Mean’ (DYM) feature, prompting the user to repeat a search in the event of a misspelled word.
For organizations that require intricate results, FAST Search for SharePoint 2010 is available as an optional upgrade, greatly enhancing your search capabilities with powerful tools that include:
· Advanced Content Processing – improve your search results through the use of metadata
· Contextual Search – custom tailor search results to a specific user or audience
