By utilizing the capabilities of the NetAdvantage ASP.NET elements, developers can create highly customized and powerful WebParts for Microsoft Windows Sharepoint (WSS) collaboration portals and plug them directly into the WSS framework.

By presenting a user with a series of WebParts organized onto a single web page, information can be delivered to multiple end users. This allows developers to build interfaces that contain specific information unique to each user.
