Business Case
DSTL are currently running SharePoint 2003 internally for collaboration and are using an in-house developed system for their Intranet. DSTL’s intranet and SharePoint 2003 environments are closely integrated bringing a seamless switch to the user.
DSTL have planned to introduce SharePoint 2007 as a replacement Intranet and then to slowly migrate the existing SharePoint 2003 collaboration environment into the SharePoint 2007.
Business Solution
SharePoint 2007 has been implemented as a new landing page for the intranet and links to parts of the old intranet whilst the migration is in process.
The new intranet will benefit from the rich publishing feature which SharePoint offers:
- Content approval processes
- DSTL branded sites
- Content workflows
- User permission control
The implementation of SharePoint 2007 offer enterprise search which is a very desire feature within DSTL, the existing search had limited capabilities.
