I’ve talked to quite a few people now about the benefits of SharePoint 2010 over 2007. I will share these benefits with you over a couple of blog posts and hopefully persuade you that 2010 is the way forward and to start planning your migration strategies now!
I will focus on these 6 points:
- Page based on Wiki
- Tagging / Notes / Rating
- Multimedia (Assets)
- Easier Announcements
- Web Apps
- PowerPoint Publishing
Pages based on Wiki:
The page wiki layouts means that you can easily edit text, insert images and change the page layout within the browser (remember that SP2010 works equally well in Firefox and IE)
You can add webparts anywhere on the page and even edit text between them!
Adding images can be done easily by simply browsing to an image on your hard drive or another location. This will be really useful in schools allowing heads of departments to enhance the look of the page very simply. The use of the wiki syntax [[link]] easily allows pages to be linked to other content on the site.
Look out for the next part where I will look at Tagging, Notes and Rating.
