Share Point Key Features CCS

Social Networking
MOSS provides social networking features, including social networking Web Parts and profile linking. MOSS allows you to establish peer links between colleagues and identify hierarchical relationships. These relationships can be published on My Site pages and traversed wherever your personal profile appears on a site/web part.

My Site
MOSS provides the ability for individual users of a portal to create their own "My Site". My Site is essentially a home page designed to provide you with a starting point through which to access content that you own and content that might be relevant to you. This is also the place where your personal profile is published. You can also create shared and private image and document libraries, as well as your own pages and publication areas. You can also create your own personal blog on your My Site.

Site Directory
MOSS provides a new site template called "Site Directory". When you create your first portal via MOSS, it comes with a Site Directory. This site template is designed specifically for tracking links to sites, displaying site maps and site navigation lists, as well as searching through the site directory. With a Site Directory in your portal, you will be asked if you want to publish a link to your new site every time you create a new site within the portal, regardless of its depth within the hierarchy.

User Profiles
MOSS allows for Active Directory-integrated user profiles. It also provides security around profile properties. In other words, you can have information in your profile that is visible only to you, visible to your superiors, visible to your colleagues, etc. You can control what audience can see which user profile properties, and much more than that.

Site Manager
MOSS provides for an easy drag-and-drop interface for managing navigation bars, navigation strips, portal hierarchy information, and much more. In general, managing sites, site hierarchies, and hierchical site content is much easier with MOSS.

Portal or "Enterprise" templates
MOSS comes with new templates for a Portal Site (the default root-level site template of a portal site), Document Center, Search Center, Report Center and Site Directory.

Content / Knowledge Network / People Search
MOSS uses an enhanced relevance algorithm for its search engine, and is able to crawl content from multiple sites within an enterprise, as well as non-sharePoint web sites. It provides an enhanced "people search" tool that can be used to try and mine hidden relationship data and show you people related to knowledge.

Business Data Catalog / Business Data Search
It allows you to extend SharePoint data by integrating Business Data from external sources such as Web Services or Relational Databases. This allows you to do things like display SAP data within your SharePoint portal, or add a column to a Requirements Document stored in SharePoint that points to data stored in a Requirements Management tool elsewhere in your enterprise.

Document Workflow
You can use the workflows such as collecting feedback and performing a review of a document, or you can create your own workflows using a custom Workflow designer to create powerful workflows around specific types of documents like Whitepapers or magazine article submissions, chapter submissions etc.

Excel Services
This provides the ability to display the contents of excel spreadsheets within web parts, and to selectively allow editing of secured regions of that spreadsheet, including evaluation of formulae contained within the sheet and having the results display in real-time.

Business Intelligence
MOSS provides a site template called Report Center, optimized for report access and management, including a report library, a data connection library, and a dashboard template.
