Microsoft SharePoint 2007® Bootcamp

5-DAY CLASS | COURSE SP3002

Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007 is one of the most powerful collaboration and information management systems available today. SharePoint 2007 provides your employees with a single point of access for all your organization’s teams, departments, partners and customers over your corporate Internet, Intranet and Extranet SharePoint portal. In addition, it allows companies to support remote or mobile workers with minimal additional effort.

One of the biggest challenges with SharePoint Server 2007 is that companies will deploy the software before they understand the organizational requirements. In this course we cover installation and configuration, but we also cover the architecture of data and hardware. Implementing SharePoint properly is the key to success for organizations. In this course students will have five days of hands-on learning to solidify the key concepts.
