High-fidelity Web Content Management with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007

While SharePoint ubiquity "inside the firewall" is all but established, it's less well-known outside of the firewall. Having twilighted it's only web content management tool (Content Management Server 2002) in lieu of SharePoint, organizations must decide whether SharePoint fits their external web site. During this session, we'll look at what SharePoint brings in the WCM space. In addition, we'll discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of implementing SharePoint for public web sites.

Key points:

• Overview of WCM in SharePoint
• Strengths and weaknesses of WCM in SharePoint
