24 Information and Communication Technology for Collaborative Environments continued Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server adds entire classes of functionality to the enterprise, connecting people, teams and knowledge across business processes. For manufacturing companies, the key benefit is the capability for distributed teams and individuals to work directly from shared, consistent information. www.microsoft.com/sharepoint Microsoft Exchange Server Microsoft Exchange Server provides asynchronous person-to-person collaborative e-mail and place based calendar services. People in manufacturing companies can use Exchange Server to send messages, distribute files, gather comments, schedule meetings and manage contacts. www.microsoft.com/exchange Microsoft Office Live Communication Server Microsoft Office Live Communications Server is a scalable, enterprise-grade solution offering enhanced security, seamless integration with Microsoft products, and an extensible, industry-standard development environment. This creates the basis for staff in new product introduction and operations to work with coworkers, partners, suppliers and customers in real time, sharing critical and time-sensitive information, taking advantage of built-in security measures to help safeguard proprietary business information. www.microsoft.com/livecomm Microsoft Office Live Meeting Microsoft Office Live Meeting can help your organisation participate in meetings around the world, at a moment’s notice, and at a fraction of the cost. This easy access to suppliers and co-workers can encourage frequent, effective, two-way interactive communication to ensure everyone is up to date with the latest requirements and changes. www.microsoft.com/livemeeting Microsoft Office Project Server Microsoft Office Project Server implements resource management services, and can optionally employ SharePoint Services to provide an integrated document library, and risk and issue tracking sites. Manufacturers are familiar with the need to plan, organise, and track tasks and resources to keep projects on time and within budget. Project Server is a companion product to Microsoft Project, and extends individual management of project plans to ensure sharing of resources, central and local plan coordination, visibility of resources across multiple plans, and management of planning standards and best practices. www.microsoft.com/projectserver Microsoft BizTalk Server Microsoft BizTalk Server integrates inter-process XML message routing and transforming capability, with an ability to initiate and track ad-hoc workflows. The wide use of XML by applications means that BizTalk Server is increasingly positioned as a communications hub – by creation of one interface to BizTalk Server, each application can be connected to every other application with a BizTalk Server interface. Manufacturers use BizTalk Server to simplify application integration and support data communication between departments and across companies. www.microsoft.com/biztalk LEADING EDGE COLL ABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS IN DISCRETE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES
Microsoft Office System Microsoft Office System provides new ways to connect individuals, teams and organisations, helping workers to collaborate effectively from any Office application. These include: • Support for synchronous and place-based collaboration tools, which help the inefficiencies typically associated with asynchronous collaborative processes, such as passing a document back and forth for editing. • Tight integration through Task Panes with SharePoint Services for easy access to online meetings, document libraries, threaded discussions, event lists, announcement lists, survey lists, and Web link lists. Manufacturers use the new capabilities of Office System to transform the use of administrative and technical documents. For example, Microsoft Office Excel spreadsheet software has enabled local and individual handling of complex information, from bill-of-materials to distribution planning. In Office System, Excel spreadsheet capabilities are complemented by communication capabilities (for example, XML interfaces), and data sharing through SharePoint Services integration and information rights management.
