Find Out the Main Features of MOSS 2007

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS), is part of Microsoft SharePoint, and runs on top of Windows SharePoint services. MOSS builds on WSS by adding both core features as well as end user web parts to it. Its main strength is enabling an organization's information to be organized and aggregated in one central, web-based application and provides taxonomy for corporate data. MOSS integrates closely with application in the Microsoft Office suite and adds various aspects such as hierarchical organization of content areas, enhanced navigation, single sign on, indexed search, personalization features, the business data catalog, and in-browser rendering and, in certain cases, editing of Microsoft Office documents.

It can also be used to form specialized document-specific libraries, such as Microsoft PowerPoint slide libraries, which can be used to share not only particular slides from a presentation but their design as well. There are three main features in MOSS 2007 personalization:

1) User Profiles - User profiles allow you to search and associated with people within your organization based on information published about them. MOSS 2007 provides a new search scope for searching people. Index Server crawls the user profile store to get the user's information.

2) Audiences - MOSS 2007 allows you to target content to people as per to their membership in a specific audience. It supports targeting to rules-based audiences, distribution lists, and Windows SharePoint Services groups. Except for Windows SharePoint Services groups, these audiences can go through one or more portal websites in a deployment.

Using targeting, you can target content in the portal website for viewing by one or more particular audiences. By default, you can display targeted content on the home page and on personalization sites.

3) My Site - My site is a collection of profile pages, personal sites, and personalization websites built in the Office SharePoint Server 2007 sites. The Profile page of the My Site displays your user profile information. Your personal site provides personalized and customized information. Office SharePoint Server 2007 also supports personalization sites. Personalization sites display targeted content to users based on their membership in a specific audience or by cutting data.
