SharePoint 2007 running in “CMS” mode is the best way I can describe what Microsoft now calls Web Content Management (WCM). The shift from CMS to WCM came naturally as a result of combining the content management capabilities of Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) with the collaboration capabilities of SharePoint. WCM refers to a SharePoint 2007 site which exploits the content management abilities SharePoint has inherited from MCMS.

Internet Search Engine Players
Google, Yahoo, MS Live Search and AOL are the big players right now. Google is out in front at the time of this writing, but keep a close watch on Microsoft. Either way, these are the only ones you need worry about being ranked well with as they represent nearly 100% of the search engines people actually use.

Search Engine Optimization is how you get your web site ranked high in internet search engines. When somebody performs a search on Google or MS Live Search or Yahoo, etc… they get hundreds or thousands of results. These results can span across hundreds of pages all containing a “next page” link at the bottom of the page. Most people will click the “next page” link exactly one time. SEO is how you get your site listed within this extraordinarily tight list. It’s a discipline, a methodology and fortunately, MOSS provides lots of ways of implementing this very tall order.

If you are new to the world of MOSS SEO, please take a moment and read the advise freely given by Google called Webmaster Guidelines. This information should be taken pretty seriously if you are pretty serious about MOSS SEO. One of the things recommended not only by Google, but all the other major search engines is to take advantage of a site map. We are currently working on a control that can be added to your MOSS site via site feature which will dynamically update your site map when you publish a page. This will be shared freely, as well as the source code so your developers can further extend as necessary.

MOSS (Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007) integrates closely with Microsoft Office applications. It can render Microsoft Office documents in web pages. In addition, with the proper server side infrastructure, it can allow the documents to be edited from within the browser as well. For other document types in a document library, Microsoft Office applications can directly edit the document in the document library. This feature is available for Microsoft Excel and Microsoft InfoPath. Using Excel Services, MOSS can allow Excel 2007 workbooks to be loaded, edited, and displayed in a SharePoint page. All calculations happen on the MOSS server. MOSS can also host and render Microsoft InfoPath forms using the Infopath Forms Services to have it viewed and filled out using a browser.

Microsoft Office Outlook can also be used for accessing and synchronizing SharePoint document libraries.[2] On connecting a document library with Outlook, the library will be listed in the navigation pane, and the files in it will be listed along with certain metadata such as author. Compatible Microsoft Office documents will be previewed in the preview pane and Microsoft Office Outlook search bars can be used to search the libraries as well. The search entered using the Outlook bar will be federated to the SharePoint server, and the results will be displayed in Outlook itself. By synchronizing a document library, Outlook can make the files available offline, which can be opened and edited using other Microsoft Office 2007 applications; the changes will be synchronized back to the SharePoint library by Outlook.

While it is not necessary to use Microsoft Office 2007 to take advantage of the integration with the Microsoft Office suite, it offers the most integration with MOSS 2007. A few examples of the improved integration with Office 2007 include:

2-way synchronization of Outlook Calendar and SharePoint Calendar.
Overlaying a SharePoint Calendar on top of user's Outlook 2007 Calendar.
SharePoint Task-Assignment Synchronization into user's Outlook Task List.
Offline Synchronization of SharePoint Documents.
Viewing SharePoint RSS feeds through Microsoft Office Outlook
Display of Meta-data values for a given document type in the Office Ribbon as a user is editing a document from a document library.
