Microsoft announced yesterday that the 2010 versions of Microsoft Office and Microsoft SharePoint have been shipped to manufacturing.
Precision IT has been active in the Beta testing program of both SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 and are pleased to report that both products seem very stable, feature rich and an improvement from the 2007 versions.
Our R&D team have been very impressed with the new SharePoint 2010 which includes the following notable additions and enhancements:
- New User Interface including new Ribbon - Office 2007 style ribbon interface.
- Web Edit- Allows users to easily customize a site.
- Silverlight Web Part - Easy Silverlight solutions into SharePoint.
- Rich Theming - Few office-style themes, just like in Word and PowerPoint.
- Multiple Browser Support - IE 7-8, Firefox and Safari. No news about Chrome and Opera.
- Visio Services - Lets you share data linked diagrams in real time.
- SharePoint Designer - Comes with a new UI, improved workflow and improved collaboration between designers.
- Business Connectivity Services (the evolution of the Business Data Catalogue).
- SharePoint Workspace - Incorporate offline-online synchronisations – This is what Microsoft did with Groove.
- Rich Media Support - No matter what type of rich media you’re using, SharePoint 2010 will make your life easier.
Precision will be implementing SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010 for production internally very soon after the May release date. Our Secure Remote Office (SRO) users within our cloud will receive the option to upgrade soon thereafter.
