CMS or Portal? CMS (Content Management Systems) are about managing

Website content. Portals are websites that allow for single sign on to be used

for multiple enterprise data stores.

Business Information (BI) PORTALS are the future

Why is Microsoft Sharepoint important? 1. Users can create their own solutions using Microsoft Office skills

acquired over the last 20 years. 2. Delivers relevant information; a users “My Site” is an

information hub includes organization wide social messaging and IRM (information rights management) for document control

3. Supports Compliance Requirements; Sarbanes Oxley, American Reinvestment and Recovery Act

4. Interoperability via cross browser support, Win Open ID, and OAuth., standard data interchange via Web Services, XML, ODBC, and connection strings (BCS).

5. ROI; one tool instead of many, instant familiarity – low skills entry barrier, extract organize and report.

SharePoint 2010 vision vs Sharepoint 2007

Sharepoint moves to cloud integration Compare the two diagrams. What is apparent is that it is no

longer about {LAN} infrastructure capabilities (i.e. content management, collaboration, search, business intelligence)

It is how these technologies {LAN\WAN}: support the user and company ROI: communities, content, insights.

Sharepoint 2010 vision elements Sites

o CMS capability (average), Intranet, Extranet, Internet, Analytics Communities

o Social Networks, Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, Tags, Feedback, Activity Feeds, People Search, Workspaces, Productivity Tools, Customization

Contento Work flow documents, Compliance records, tasks, activities, markup with DRM

(digital rights management) Search

o Google has made search look easy and has set the bar high – FAST search meets and exceeds this bar

o Support for custom taxonomies and metadata. Insights

o Dashboards, score cards, metrics, app mashups – familiar tools Composites

o Push and pull data from enterprise systems. App mashups , forms, work flows.

Dashboard SharePoint Business Intelligence using Excel services

SharePoint 2010 — Business Data Connectivity ServiceAnother nice thing about BCS is that it is available in SharePoint Foundation 2010 (formerly WSS 3.0). The capabilities available within Foundation are only a subset, but enough to enable developers to build solutions that can run on Foundation or SharePoint Server.
