Contribute

SharePoint Team Services is the easiest way for any type of team or workgroup to use the Web to share information. All it takes is a Web browser and access to a corporate network or the Internet.

• A Web Site Everyone Can Use
  Using preprogrammed Web-authoring forms, you can instantly create a full-feature Web site that your team can begin using immediately. Once the site is launched, team members can add, edit, and delete information using their Web browsers. Automatic hyperlink management maintains links to new material, while templates protect the overall navigational structure, individual page layouts, and design elements.

• Out-of-the-Box Functionality
  Preformatted forms let your team members contribute to the SharePoint Team Services-based Web site simply by filling out lists. You'll find forms for announcements, events, contacts, tasks, surveys, discussions, and links. SharePoint Team Services also makes it easy to create custom lists by building on existing forms, or creating new ones from scratch.
• Microsoft Office XP Integration
  Office XP works seamlessly with SharePoint Team Services, so you can save documents from within any Office application and copy calendars and contact lists directly from Microsoft Outlook® 2002 and paste them directly into your team's Web site. Integration with Microsoft Excel 2002 means you can also export lists and create pivot tables and charts to analyze information or apply text formatting.

Collaborate

SharePoint Team Services opens the door to seamless communication and efficient collaboration with a wide range of easy-to-use features.

• Document Libraries
  The Document Library feature of SharePoint Team Services provides a single location for storing all your team's work. Transferring documents to the library is simple—it just takes a Web browser. And when you assign templates to your document libraries, you guarantee that all documents are consistent and compatible. Powerful text-based search and a familiar folder view make it easy to find documents in the SharePoint team Web site library.

• Team Interaction
  SharePoint Team Services helps team members share ideas through subscriptions and notifications that alert everyone to Web site changes. Inline document discussions make it easy to collaborate on specific deliverables without altering original documents. Discussion boards serve as a central forum for specific topics and surveys, which are a useful way to get targeted responses to key issues.
• Team Management
  Once you've launched a SharePoint Team Services-based Web site, a simple e-mail invitation serves to register team members to the site, and you can assign different permission levels to each member depending on their role. Date, time, and author stamping makes it easy to track member participation. Web-based administration lets you manage user accounts quickly and simply from within the browser.

Customize and Control

Simple to set up, a SharePoint Team Services-based Web site can easily be customized to meet the specific project demands of your group.

• Customize from a Web Browser
  You'll find all the commands you need to adapt the SharePoint Team Services-based Web site for your team. Simple drag-and-drop functionality makes it easy to modify the home page; adding new pages and custom lists is a snap, too. You can also create custom views of information by filtering for specific criteria, sorting in a particular order, or showing and hiding columns.
  
  
  Customization is easy with Microsoft FrontPage 2002.
• Customize with a Compatible Web Page Browser
  Create professional-quality Web sites that offer all the features your team needs. Advanced customization options include themes and shared borders, plus photo galleries, usage analysis, top ten lists, automatic Web content, and more.
• A Solution That Makes Sense
  Using the services of a Web Presence Provider (WPP) for SharePoint Team Services like Utopia, launching and maintaining a SharePoint Team Services Web site is fast and easy. It takes only three clicks to set up and configure your team Web site running on Microsoft Windows® 2000 with Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0. Built-in administration features let you delegate administration of the site to a team member, reducing demands on IT staff.
