Summary

Windows SharePoint Services elevates knowledge management to a new level. Rather than simply storing files in network shares, knowledge workers can now leverage file versioning, check-in check-out protection, and flexible customizable Web views to share company data. Despite the fact that WSS was engineered to scale to large Web farm style deployments that can accommodate worldwide collaboration, WSS runs just as well and is quickly deployed in small business and departmental environments. Finally, even though the knowledge worker gains the flexibility and customizing features of a Web-based application, WSS preserves a high level of security through a variety of built-in security measures while leveraging the improved security of Windows Server 2003.
