SharePoint 2010 and Content Management

Enterprise Content Management with no rivals. With the enhancements and features in SharePoint 2010, Content Management easy for everyone. Combining traditional content management, social capabilities, and powerful search, it is as natural to manage as it is to use. With its simple administration, you can quickly set up compliance policies, while its familiar interface lets your people work just as they would in Microsoft Office. The result is well-managed information that is easy to use, find, and share.

With SharePoint 2010 Content Management and Gig Werks you can:
 
Document Management
  • Document Sets
    • Organize a group of documents into a single Document Set so that you can apply metadata, assign policies and deliver content as a single unit
  • Hierarchical Metadata
    • Manage information about your content with taxonomies and metadata
    • Share hierarchical taxonomies across your organization to standardize the way you want to classify information
    • Allow users to suggest new terms for the taxonomy by tagging content
  • Drive Compliance and Reduce Risk
    • SharePoint 2010 Content makes it easy to tag content, enforce retention schedules, declare records, and apply legal holds.
  • Records Retention Policies
  • Connect with Microsoft Office 2010
    • Easily integrate your content from Microsoft Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 with the familiar user experience in both.
Web Content
  • Publishing
    • The publishing platform in SharePoint allows you to control what flexibility is available to authors, how sophisticated the approval process needs to be for content to go live, how the content should be organized in your site, how to orchestrate publishing in different parallel sites and whether to separate the authoring and staging environment from your live site. 
    • Workflow – approvals
      Depending on the type of WCM deployment you have, you can decide how simple or sophisticated your publishing approval process needs to be. You can decide that you don’t need any approval process in place or use simple out-of-box parallel or serial approval workflows or customize the out-of box workflows in SharePoint Designer 2010 to model your business process. We now enable business users to model their workflow in Microsoft Visio 2010 which can then be imported into SharePoint Designer 2010.  Another great advantage of building in Visio is that SharePoint uses a new feature, Visio Services to deliver workflow visualization, showing exactly where in the process the workflow is currently executing.  We’ve also made improvements in this release where you can reuse the workflow you have created and apply to content types and site templates.
    • Scheduled updates
  • Streaming media
    • We’ve put a lot plumbing into the product to ensure that the end-user experience of viewing and streaming rich media on your site is smooth and the impact on your network and SQL backend is minimized.  The BLOB cache on the web front ends (WFE) has been optimized to read content from SQL in small chunks and start sending the file to the client immediately so the user doesn’t have to wait for the whole file to download.  The BLOB cache can also serve requests for parts of the file to the client.  So if the user wants to skip to the last chapter in the video and the entire file hasn’t been downloaded yet, the BLOB cache can serve that part of the video immediately.
  • Easy to upload and use content
    • SharePoint 2010 makes it easy for authors to select and add rich media content (like images, audio, video and Silverlight controls) to their pages.  Authors have quick access to Media, Video and Silverlight Web Parts that they can add to their pages.  We’ve also introduced a new experience for selecting rich media content that has features like getting to preview and play the video before you select it.
  • Edit right in the browser using familiar tools via the Ribbon
    • The most notable visual change in SharePoint 2010 is the introduction of the “Ribbon” from the Office applications. The Ribbon provides a consistent experience and makes it easy for users to discover the rich features in SharePoint. What’s more, the Ribbon enables quick access to the most common functionality based on the specific task that you are working on. So, let’s say you are authoring a page that requires you to add text, images and videos. When you’re typing, the Ribbon will show you text formatting options like styles, fonts, bold, italics etc. When you click on a video player web part you get options like changing the size of the media player, whether or not the video starts when the page loads or whether the video should loop once it finishes.
  • Simplify the experience for users and administrators while reducing your costs
    • One familiar platform provides users with a single experience without  the time and expense of additional training
    • Administrators can deploy and maintain multiple business solutions from a “single pane of glass” without having to learn multiple administrative tools.  SharePoint 2010’s Central Administration tool allows them to manage intranets, extranets and external Internet websites all from one place.
