MOSS 2007 and Business Intelligence

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Business Intelligence With Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, your organization has a fully integrated enterprise portal that can help you improve employee interaction.
Powerful new features can help you integrate structured and unstructured data, see different levels of detail, and interact with spreadsheets, key performance indicators (KPIs), and dashboards.
Because the content is in SharePoint Server, you have access to built-in native capabilities such as enterprise search, content management, communication, and collaboration.

SharePoint Server 2007 (Part 1 of 6): Planning and Deploying SharePoint Server 2007 (Level 200)
In this first session of our six-part Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 series, see a detailed overview of the SharePoint Server 2007 architecture. We present the concepts of topology, server roles, and network conditions, and also provide an overview of administration features with SharePoint Server 2007.

Hear an explanation and usage example for each component of the three-tier administration model: central administration, shared services, and site settings.

We also explain various security topics including permissions.

Finally, we look at deployment options and use four detailed scenarios to provide considerations for determining the correct topology.

The simplest of these is a single-server deployment, and then the options progress to farm options, from small to large.Presenter: Kevin Remde, TechNet Presenter, Microsoft Corporation
