One site with different views based on users role • Audience targeting enabled us to customize an experience for the user based on their role by pushing relevant news, links, documents, and applications. • Targeting Content • Based on audiences (AD Groups) • Web Parts • Links • News • Areas
Active Directory Integrated • Leverage already established AD users and groups infrastructure. • Minimal increase in administrative overhead.
Collaborate • Microsoft wants you to start paying more attention to the "Save As" command. Instead of the usual habit of saving documents to a hard drive, Microsoft wants you to place them in server-based collaborative "work spaces" that can be accessed by multiple people. Such document sharing is one of the main ideas behind SharePoint

What’s Next for Collaboration? • “Further down the road, SharePoint's role is likely to morph again, said Peter Pawlak, an analyst at research firm Directions on Microsoft. That will occur, as functions for managing common documents and other types of content are embedded into the WinFS file management system used by Longhorn, the next version of Windows.” • By David Becker CNET News.com

E-portfolios • In their most basic form, ePortfolios allow students to securely store, publish (i.e., display) and update their creative work on a university's Web site. For instance, an architecture student can display his designs and schematics, a computer animator can post her short films, and a music major can publish his unique arrangements. As they interview for internships, career opportunities, or graduate schools, these students can direct potential employers and admissions personnel to their respective online ePortfolios.
More than mere Web sites, ePortfolios also are complex data management systems. When properly designed using such standards as eXtensible Markup Language (XML), ePortfolios can interact with course management systems, HR systems, and enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. In other words, ePortfolio sites can securely gather student grades, professor names, evaluation comments, and other content, providing a complete 360-degree view of a student's academic record to approved site visitors. • Joseph C.

Single Sign On Single sign-on allows you to store and map account credentials. This prevents users from having to sign on again when portal-based applications retrieve information from business applications, such as third-party enterprise resource planning and customer relations management (CRM) systems. By using single sign-on, you can centralize information from multiple back-end applications through a single portal that uses application definitions. By using application definitions, you can minimize and automate the sign-on process to these applications in a more secure environment. In addition, SharePoint Portal Server provides an easy interface for developers to create and extend this feature.
