Microsoft share point applications – Networking and Sharing at the micro level

Networking, centralized administration, sharing, collaborating on a common –platform – the cornerstone of a successful community. An organization which delivers as a team(community) with a common objective is the one which succeeds. Simulating the community –concept in the internet space is a wide range of technologies and applications such as Microsoft SharePoint applications- which strengthens the binding and bonding of organizational resources through a network created by the SharePoint technology.

What is Microsoft share point and why is it important?

Microsoft share point is a suite of softwares developed by Microsoft to underline the objective mentioned above, with features that include file-sharing, web-publishing on the Intranet - a microcosm of the internet space( spelling a dynamic market scenario with speed, quality and efficiency as its trio of standards).

A business with an organizational approach is right on target namely the customer, and Microsoft SharePoint applications works on this premise, to securely deliver to the promise a business makes.

Microsoft SharePoint applications provide templates that help in intranet site management through enterprise solutions, apart from integrating the MS office suite into its framework.

Apart from integrating MS office documents’, the SharePoint application templates are mainly the site-admin templates and the server-admin templates

Site-admin templates are custom templates that can be easily installed into the site’s template gallery with out the intervention of the site administrator.

Whereas, server-admin templates are administered at the server level, with tighter security and greater integrity to function better within the SharePoint services platform.

Some of the site admin templates are :Board of Directors , Business Performance Reporting, Case Management for Government Agencies, Classroom Management,Clinical Trial Initiation and Management, Competitive Analysis Site, Discussion Database, Disputed Invoice Management, Employee Activities Site, Employee Self-Service Benefits, Employee Training Scheduling and Materials, Equity Research, Integrated Marketing Campaign Tracking, Manufacturing Process Management,

Exemplifying some of the above share point applications, for instance, the board of directors documents, will detail on key business strategies, annual meetings, periodic reviews etc, giving access to a few external members.

On the other hand, the competitive analysis site features details on the business competitor’s products and services. This Microsoft SharePoint application helps to organize and centralize information about business competitors.

Moving over to the server-admin templates, the scope of applications which can be developed is vast just as the range of templates, which can be customized to meet the desired requirement.

Some of the server-side SharePoint application templates Absence Request and Vacation Schedule Management,Budgeting and Tracking Multiple Projects, Bug Database, Call Center, Change Request Management, Compliance Process Support Site, Job Requisition and Interview Management, Knowledge Base etc

For instance, the absence request and vacation schedule management helps employees to request for leave (sick) or vacation and accordingly reassign the allotted tasks to another team member. This helps the organization in leave management ensuring that the work delivery doesn’t get affected. Another way of resource management at the server end is the Job Requisition and Interview Management, which helps the recruiter to keep track of job vacancies, recruits and scheduled interviews for the vacancies.

The key to Business management is an organized foundation, which will provide the platform for prospects to reach their potential. There is more than enough space for technology and real-time business practices to synchronize on the intranet platform and the larger internet. Delving into this synergy of web technology and business classics, is Pixint graphics, Web Design Company New Jersey, California – USA, which offers a wide spectrum of services ranging from web development, ecommerce portals, web portal development to SEO services. Pixint is synonymous with professional web development where graphical user-interface design exponentiates to give the ultimate user experience. Here, the collaborative approach with the client towards the business requirement, brings out the truest essence of the business on the web platform, so that the story of success rings from a ‘shared’ experience.

What is .htaccess file??

Although .htaccess is only a file, it can change settings on the servers and allow you to do many different things, the most popular being able to have your own custom 404 error pages. .htaccess isn't difficult to use and is really just made up of a few simple instructions in a text file.
 
This is probably the hardest question to give a simple answer to. Many hosts support .htaccess but don't actually publicise it and many other hosts have the capability but do not allow their users to have a .htaccess file. As a general rule, if your server runs Unix or Linux, or any version of the Apache web server it will support .htaccess, although your host may not allow you to use it. A good sign of whether your host allows .htaccess files is if they support password protection of folders. To do this they will need to offer .htaccess (although in a few cases they will offer password protection but not let you use .htaccess). The best thing to do if you are unsure is to either upload your own .htaccess file and see if it works or e-mail your web host and ask them.
 
You may be wondering what .htaccess can do, or you may have read about some of its uses but don't realise how many things you can actually do with it.

There is a huge range of things .htaccess can do including:
  • password protecting folders
  • redirecting users automatically
  • custom error pages
  • changing your file extensions
  • banning users with certain IP addresses
  • only allowing users with certain IP addresses
  • stopping directory listings
  • using a different file as the index file.
Before beginning using .htaccess, I should give you one warning. Although using .htaccess on your server is extremely unlikely to cause you any problems (if something is wrong it simply won't work), you should be wary if you are using the Microsoft FrontPage Extensions. The FrontPage extensions use the .htaccess file so you should not really edit it to add your own information. If you do want to (this is not recommended, but possible) you should download the .htaccess file from your server first (if it exists) and then add your code to the beginning.

Difference between a media release and an advertisement

If you have written many press releases and very little have been picked up by newspapers, it could be because your releases are seen by the media as a pure advertisement or plug for your business. Differences between media releases and advertisements are explained below:

Media Release:
  • Uncontrolled form of communication. As you are not paying for an amount of space, you are not guaranteed it will get published. If it does get published it is at the mercy of the journalist as to what they include and what they don’t include about your organization.

  • The aim of a media release is to be published by a news channel to obtain validation from a third party.

  • Incorporates a strong news angle. It is used to generate third party credibility. For example if you are successful in getting a media release published in the Brisbane Courier Mail and readers see that Courier Mail’s Travel Editor, Mike O’Connor endorses this wine tour as a great experience, people may be more inclined to remember the name of that tour.
Advertisement:
  • A controlled form of communication that you pay for and can therefore have full control over what is said in the advertisement.

  • No news angle needed, as you are simply plugging your organization.

  • May not be as effective in gaining readers’ attention, as it is not validated by a third party. People are exposed to hundreds of advertisements every day and therefore may not be remembered by your target market. There is a danger of people dismissing advertisements, as they know organizations can tell them how good their product or service is but how do they know the organization actually delivers on their promise. This is where a media release it appropriate; as it provides an endorsement from a third party telling readers the organization lives up to its promise not the organization simply giving itself another plug.

What is Content Management System (CMS)?

A content management system (CMS) is a program that lets you edit your website’s content without needing to know any programming language. It is a must-have for all tourism operators.

If you have built your website yourself, you might be familiar with Adobe Dreamweaver, Microsoft FrontPage or Microsoft Publisher. These programs are not content management systems but are used by (often novice) web developers to build the code of your website. In order for you to edit your content, your web developer will need to add a content management system.

Some small business owners may want to use programs like Dreamweaver to try and build their owner websites. However, they will require a solid knowledge of technical expertise in order for the result to meet the expectations of both their audience and search engines. Most times the results are disappointing and small business owners get very frustrated after having spent many hours trying to build their site. It is better to work with a professional to design and program your website and for you to focus on the content. The programmer will build a content management system into your site, which you will be able to access from any computer.

CMS are much easier to use than the likes of Dreamweaver because they are tailored to non-tech savvy users.

DO I NEED A CMS?

Yes. If you want to be competitive in today’s online space, you cannot do without updating your website content. A content management system is the easiest and safest way to do so. It also allows you to create new pages in one click, and inactivate old pages, without worrying about breaking the design.

Having a content management system will save you money as you won’t need to pay a web developer every time you want to modify the content of your website.

You will not be able to configure a CMS on your own and will need to ask your web developer to do so when they program your site.

WHICH CMS ARE THE MOST POPULAR AND RELIABLE?

There are many CMS on the market. Free open-source CMS are very popular because they allow programmer to adapt the code to suit your website requirements and benefit from the improvements other programmers have made to the system.

Open source CMS, even though they can be downloaded at no cost, will require to be installed on your website by your programmer. You will generally pay a set fee for them to install it. In many instances, it is also possible to install a CMS on an existing website.

Open source CMS that are highly recommended by the web developers and users community are:

CMS Made Simple (www.cmsmadesimple.org)
DotNetNuke (www.dotnetnuke.com) *
*DotNetNuke is a CMS that requires to be hosted on Microsoft Servers
Drupal (http://drupal.org)
e107 (http://e107.org)
Joomla! (www.joomla.org)
PHP-Fusion (http://php-fusion.co.uk)
SilverStripe (www.silverstripe.com)
WordPress (www.wordpress.org)

What is Blogs and Blogging?

A blog is a website designed in the format of an online journal. It features many posts or articles. Each article should be complemented by a title, graphics, photos, videos, and often followed by readers’ comments. Each blog article has its own web address. Blogs can be maintained by individuals, groups and businesses. Their authors are called “bloggers”.

Aim of blogging:
The main aim of a blog is to share thoughts with the rest of the world. Blogging has revolutionized the manner knowledge is shared amongst experts. Recent research revealed that 60% of people now turn to the Internet when they need to address problems and issues. Only 25% turn to traditional media and even less to libraries or other sources.

In an offline environment, one had to rely on encyclopedias and research articles published in magazines.

From a third-party perspective, blogs are perceived as an extraordinary market research tool as they provide an unlimited source of up-to-the-minute information which conveys what the world thinks, discusses, vets, encourages and bans. Blogs are the biggest resource of user-generated content. Just like websites or customer reviews on Web Designing Services, Search Engine Optimization Solutions or any other topic they are interested, they get indexed by search engines. They even have their own search engines!

Blogging is good for my business:
As a business owner, blogging will allow you to:
  • Establish yourself as an authority in your niche
  • Engage your customers
  • Engage in dialogue with peers and increase your knowledge
  • Discuss industry and business matters
