by Kyle McNabb, Stephen Powers

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 is targeted at organizations looking for a Web content management (WCM) solution that complements other in-house Microsoft technologies. MOSS 2007 is particularly well suited to organizations that are already using Windows SharePoint Services for document collaboration or SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or MOSS 2007 for intranet sites — and whose external site needs are not cBout whatomplex. Microsoft provides strong support for Visual Studio.NET, which has a large developer community. However, while Microsoft offers out-of-the-box workflow templates, MOSS lacks comprehensive workflow support including parallel process and branching support, integration with content deployment actions, and aggregate workflow reporting across multiple sites and projects. Organizations with complex Web site needs should seek a more comprehensive solution from another vendor.
