Familiar interface enhances ease of adoption
Users of Microsoft Applications will find
the
SharePoint Portal
Server interface familiar. This feature enhances user adoption
and encourages collaborative work practices. The recognisable
browser interface allows users to perform portal tasks within
Microsoft Office programs, such as specifying a Document Workspace,
searching the portal, and receiving portal alerts in Microsoft
Office Outlook 2003.
Content and Code create Web Parts that expose information,
applications, and Web Services by using familiar tools such as
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft Office FrontPage
2003.
