Microsoft Cms

What's In Store For Microsoft CMS

Microsoft's Content Manger Server or Microsoft CMS was the premiere web content management program designed for offices to be able to build a web program management tool as a key business solution at the time when it was created. Microsoft CMS has had two versions: Microsoft CMS 2001 followed by Microsoft CMS 2002. The Microsoft CMS 2002 version was designed to improve on the strengths of the previous version as well as work on the opportunities pointed out from customer feedback. All in all, the Microsoft CMS platform allowed businesses to easily create and manage rich web content for intranet and internet purposes.

Since the last Microsoft CMS version was created, no other improvements were made on the product and this year, the Microsoft CMS will no longer be a stand alone product and instead, it will be integrated to the new Office SharePoint Server 2007. This means that if your office has been using Microsoft CMS then you will need to upgrade to the Office Sharepoint Server 2007. There should not be any concerns about problems with migration because the system is designed to integrate into each other seamlessly.

Office SharePoint Server 2007 is actually an integration of the capabilities of the Microsoft CMS product with the SharePoint Portal Server 2003. The combination of both these products' capabilities and strengths result in the ultimate business solution designed to meet the increasing need for businesses to be able to have program management online. The Office SharePoint Server 2007 is similar to an enterprise management solution product that makes web based project management easier than ever before but loaded with better features and functions for better business intelligence.

Things are simpler now with this integration into one product because all functions fall under one unified platform. This enables companies to share secure content with each within an intranet portal. This makes a whole lot of business sense because the problem of space and time that may otherwise become problematic is now solved. By using a unified function, employees and other permitted business partners are able to share information in real time. Since in business, time is gold, the preciousness of quick decisions and quick information sharing makes the integrated product a good deal for any business.

Another plus is that there is now a common infrastructure for all intranet and internet sites used by the business. This means no more compatibility issues and such and all the business is left with is convenience and ease of use.

The best part of the integration of the Microsoft CMS product into the Office Sharepoint Server 2007 is that Microsoft is committed to helping its customers migrate from the old platform to an integrated one. Customers no longer need to worry about problematic migrations that may cause disruptions in service and functions because Microsoft will ensure that that won't happen.

What's more is that if the business has an active Software Assurance agreement then they automatically have the rights to use the Office Sharepoint Server 2007 with the Microsoft CMS product fully integrated into the new superior system. If your business does not have a current, up to date Software Assurance agreement, they are encouraged to do so, so that they can be qualified for future product upgrades.
