Superior Collaboration for Increased Business Productivity

SharePoint (WSS v3) hosting provides a shared workplace community for project management, knowledge management, whatever you need.
A hosted SharePoint site helps groups of people (whether work teams or social groups) share information and work together. SharePoint empowers you to:
Members of the site can contribute their own ideas and content as well as comment on or contribute to other people's. No complicated Web publishing process is needed. Just type an announcement or discussion comment and click save.
No computer skills? No problem. No setup fee. No contracts. No spending valuable dollars on hardware and more computers. We provide your professional SharePoint service on our hosted, secure network.
SharePoint sites provide places to capture and share ideas, information, communication, and documents. The sites facilitate team participation in discussions, shared document collaboration, and surveys. Site content is accessible from both a Web browser and through clients that support Web Services. The document collaboration features allow for easy check in, check out, and document version control.
SharePoint site members can find and communicate with key contacts and experts, both by e-mail and with instant messaging. Site content can be easily searched, and users can also receive alerts to tell them when existing documents and information has been changed, or when new information or documents have been added. Site content and layout can be personalized on a per-user basis, and Web Parts can be used to present targeted information to specific users on precise topics. Keep Reading
Microsoft Office System programs use SharePoint site content. All of a site's collaborative content – for example, documents, lists, events, task assignments, and membership rosters – can be read and edited within Microsoft Office Word 2003, Microsoft Office Excel 2003, and Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003. Picture editing of Web-based photo libraries is also possible. Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 allows SharePoint site event calendars to be viewed side-by-side with personal calendars, and it also creates meeting-specific workspaces to augment group appointments.
SharePoint site managers can customize the content and layout of sites to ensure that site members can access and work with important and relevant information. Members' participation can also be monitored and moderated when necessary. Security and task responsibilities are both flexible and easily accessible. Well-designed lists and entire sites can be saved as templates and reused by individuals, teams, or business units across an organization.
Windows SharePoint Services can scale to thousands of sites within an organization. It fully supports load-balanced Web farm and clustered database deployments. For site and server managers, quotas can be set and enforced not only on storage, but on sites per-server and users per-site. Site usage can be monitored to detect and retire inactive sites. Detailed security options are available and easily managed. Server managers can delegate to end users the ability to create their own sites. Sites and servers can be managed from a Web browser, command-line tools, or a Web service-accessible object model.
In addition to the Web Part infrastructure, Windows SharePoint Services servers, sites, and site contents are exposed by a comprehensive Windows .NET – based object model and industry-standard Web services. Site customization and enhanced data-driven site content is possible, even to non-programmers, by using Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003.
Effectively Monitor Content for Projects, Milestones or Documents.
Setup alerts to stay up to date when content changes on a site or for changes in projects, milestones and documents. Receive e-mails on a specified schedule (immediately when something changes on the SharePoint site or on a schedule day of the week). Alerts can be as granular as individual documents or SharePoint list items.
