Enterprise-wide content management enabled by Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

The new and enhanced content management capabilities in MS Office SharePoint Server 2007 comprise three areas:

• Document Management
• Records Management
• Web Content Management

Windows SharePoint Services provides core document management functionality: major and minor versioning, check-in/check-out document locking, rich descriptive metadata, workflow, content type–based policies, auditing, and role-based-access controls at the document library, folder, and individual document levels.

Office SharePoint Server 2007 builds on these capabilities to deliver enhanced authoring, business document processing, Web content management and publishing, records management, policy management, and support for multilingual publishing.
