Windows SharePoint Services Team Collaboration Web Sites

eureka software has the experience to create a custom-designed collaborative Web site for your team process. Communicate, share documents, and work together on a project using a custom-designed collaborative Web site. Collaborative Web sites provide an easy way to share a process with internal and external consultants and clients. Access controls such as password protection and user roles provide a secure work area. Separate sites can be configured for separate projects with links between the sites for easy access to multiple project sites.

Using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS 3.0) technology, a collaborative Web site can easily be integrated with Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003 products, allowing contact lists to be directly exported to Microsoft Outlook. Files can be edited and saved directly to document libraries out of Microsoft Word. This integration feature provides a more efficient work process and seamless communication with the collaborative site. Alerts can be created when a document is edited or deleted, or when a list has changed, so users can perform their activities in a timely manner.

Features of a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 collaborative team site might include:

• Lists

• Libraries

• Discussion boards

• Surveys

• Integration with client programs

• Site customization

• Security

• Rich graphics

• Integration with Microsoft Office 2007 or 2003

eureka software designed and implemented a portal web site and two complimentary team web sites to support the Sabine River Authority, State of Louisiana and the Sabine River Authority of Texas relicensing process for the Toledo Bend Project, FERC No. 2305. Using WSS 3.0 technology, one site is a public web site and the other is a password-protected team site for consultant-client communication and document sharing. The public web site contains documents that can be downloaded and viewed, a calendar of events, and lists for meeting summaries and correspondence.

In September 2008, eureka software designed this web site to help with the public involvement process related to the relicensing of the Cabin Creek Project for Xcel Energy, Minneapolis, MN Cabin Creek Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project
FERC No. 2351 . The site incorporates the latest in Microsoft's SharePoint© technologies. User roles can be assigned to control access and editing capabilities to certain documents. Because of the ability to view a team site in a Web browser, the relicensing team will be able to share documents with key external consultants and agencies.
