FIGURE 6-7 The Joomla CMS allows you to easily manage the content of your intranet. PART III

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
A particularly robust and feature-rich CMS application is Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
(MOSS). It allows you to take all your organization’s information and maintain it in one,
centralized location. It is accessed by members of your organization through a web browser.
It supports all intranet, extranet, and web applications in one platform, thus eliminating
fragmented and piecemeal systems. Further, it allows you to improve overall productivity
by simplifying everyday tasks.
In this section, we’ll talk a little about MOSS and how it can benefit your company’s
intranet. We’ll also discuss it from the standpoint of paperless document management.

Features
MOSS allows members of your organization to do their work using Microsoft Office
applications, e-mail, or web browsers. Some of the functionality of MOSS includes:
• The ability to control access Just because it’s on the intranet doesn’t mean it is
open for everyone to look at or change. MOSS allows you to establish customized
document management policies to control access rights. Access can be managed at
a per-item level; you can manage the retention period and expiration actions.
• Central management MOSS allows you to store and manage all your documents
and content in one central location. This helps with locating documents. It also
allows you to manage how your data is stored: Settings can be modified to add
workflow, establish retention policies, and add new content types.
