By Gini Courter and Annette Marquis Publisher: Apress Published: 1/1/2006 ISBN: 1-59059-690-0 Pages: 278 File type: PDF File size: 6.68 MB About Whether you work in a large multinational corporation or in a tiny family-owned company, you have at least one thing in common: it’s a challenge to secure IT resources to solve common everyday business problems. In a large corporation, resources are typically spent on the big projects that have a significant cost benefit to the company. When you make a request for assistance, you’re probably called upon to justify the business value of your request. If you aren’t planning to save the company millions of dollars, you’re out of luck. At the other end of the spectrum, all a small company might know about IT is that it was a member of the cast of the Addams Family TV show. Although initial installation of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server requires administrative expertise, even a company with no technical staff can buy hosting from a SharePoint hosting company (see Appendix C), and in minutes have aWindows SharePoint Services site for its team. As we’ve delved deeper and deeper into the possibilities that SharePoint offers, one thing has become crystal clear: a high-end user within a department can develop highly sophisticated SharePoint sites, business dashboard, and data sharing systems without a lick of programming. This puts tremendous power in the hands of end users and IT business analysts who want quick, easy-to-implement solutions for their users.
