SharePoint Server 2007 layers a variety of Web applications, services, utilities, and programming interfaces on top of several Microsoft products and technologies, including Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0, a Windows component geared to team collaboration sites; the SQL Server database management system; and the .NET Framework 3.0 application development platform, which includes ASP.NET 2.0 and the Windows Workflow Foundation workflow engine.
For corporate portals, SharePoint Server 2007 and the WSS 3.0 platform provide the following:
- Preconfigured ASP.NET Web site and application templates for portals
- ASP.NET 2.0 Web page controls, called Web Parts, that allow workers to view and interact with content on the portal; administrators and users with appropriate permissions can customize pages by adding, deleting, configuring, and rearranging Web parts
- Mid-tier services (called shared services) that provide a variety of common functions used by portal sites (such as search, security, and user profile management)
- Facilities for managing documents and tabular lists of information relevant to portal visitors, such as contacts, announcements, and tasks; all documents and items in lists are stored in SQL Server databases
- Tools and utilities for managing settings and configuration of SharePoint Web sites and applications, and the infrastructure those sites run on
- A .NET programming model that allows partners and customers to extend and customize the product.
