SharePoint Services and MOSS Fundamentals

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 (WSS3) is a versatile technology that you can use to increase the efficiency of business processes and improve team productivity.

In this course, you will learn how WSS3 works under the covers and how you can build rich, interactive sites that enhance your team's information management and exchange. The last part of this course focuses on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS) and how you can leverage the portal and content management features of MOSS as well as the Business Data Catalog and Excel Services.
