Intranet Workgroup Collaboration using Sharepoint Services

Promote workgroup collaboration on your intranet’s websites
Imagine that your company has just created a new Department A that has several confidential team projects. The department head wants total control over all sites associated with his department. Each project requires an independent and secure website on the intranet. The project managers want to create and control their own websites, and restrict access to their project sites to team members. Rather than spend considerable time and money creating a set of standard HTML sites, you decide to use SharePoint services in Windows Small Business Server 2003 (SBS) to meet all these requirements.

• Configure self-service site creation
• Create a top-level site
• Set user permissions to protect a site
• Create a sub-site
• Link top-level site & sub-sites
• Keep track of your sites

Ten questions to ask before you sign the dotted line

A contract is a legally binding agreement between you and your customer, or you and your vendors, or even you and your employer. Managing contracts is an important part of your job. When contracts are properly established and managed, they seem as if they’re unnecessary. However, if disagreements arise, contracts are used to establish what was originally agreed upon. Contracts are vitally important to the success of your company.

A contract, whether you’re the contractor or the contracted, should contain the specifications of what has been agreed upon verbally. Minimally, it should contain a list of deliverables, the project, and costs. But a contract can contain much more.

Answer 10 questions
In this article, you’ll see 10 questions to keep in mind when establishing or administering contracts. We’ll discuss deliverables: yours, vendors’, when they should be delivered, and how. If deliverables are missed, we’ll discuss the ramifications and how billing should proceed. We’ll also cover some of the legal considerations. These 10 items, ranging from deliverable definition to security enforcement, will lead you to a better understanding about the contract’s content.
