Epok Edition for Microsoft SharePoint
7/1/2008
SharePoint use continues to expand within organizations driven by business users, IT staff, and information security officers who are all looking for better ways to collaborate and control information access and use. Business users striving to create more agile and cost effective operations are quick to realize the value of SharePoint for communicating and collaborating with other divisions, partners and extranet users. As a result, most MOSS 2007 deployment plans must include some form of extranet support to meet the demands of business users. Unfortunately, SharePoint is optimized as single directory collaboration suite, which limits its utility and value in cross-organizational collaboration. IT developers charged with deploying MOSS extranets have struggled to design and implement such projects. Those responsible often end up using toolkit technologies like the External Collaboration Toolkit for SharePoint (ECTS) built on Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) to roll their own “one off” solutions from piece-parts.
