Datasheet

MOSS combines the services of WSS, along with its own core services and
application services to create MOSS 2007 applications (see Figure 1-3). MOSS
2007 includes the following SharePoint applications right out of the box:
 Portals are an essential user interface feature of SharePoint and are used
to aggregate content, highlight featured content, and provide access to
other SharePoint resources (see Chapter 11).
 Enterprise content management consists of document and records
management (see Chapter 15) as well as Web content management (see
Chapter 16). WSS also provides document management, but MOSS adds
to those features with information management policies and document
information panels. I like to think of Web content management as MOSS’s
publishing feature. Web content management makes it possible to pub-
lish content to a site that’s intended to be read by many people.
 People and personalization encompasses all the features related to
managing user profiles, targeting content to audiences, and personaliz-
ing portal content. See Chapters 12 and 13.
 Enterprise search provides the ability to index all content within
SharePoint and content outside SharePoint. Search is configurable so
that you can manage the relevancy of results delivered to users. See
Chapter 14.
 Business process integration provides the ability to integrate data from
outside sources with SharePoint (see Chapter 17). MOSS can render
InfoPath forms in the browser to automate business forms (see Chapter 8).
 Business intelligence provides support for reports, dashboards, and
Excel Services (see Chapter 17). Excel Services creates server-side ver-
sions of Excel spreadsheets and renders them in a Web page.
