LMBRU launch new Extranet site using SharePoint 2007
We have been working closely with the Leeds Musculoskeletal Biomedical Research Unit (LMBRU) to create a number of internal and external facing web sites to support the implementation of their IS/IT strategy and to subsequently support their bid to become a biomedical research centre.
Based around Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the newly created Extranet site provides the facility to securely upload and share documents and information between collaborative partners; facilitating closer working relations and building a foundation upon which to build more complex data capture programmes.
The Extranet system provides dedicated sub sites for individual projects with the ability to upload documents via email, Windows Explorer as well as the typical Upload features of SharePoint 2007. The system also makes use of SharePoint’s security trimming functionality to ensure that only authorised users are able to view a particular sub site by hiding any information, functions and documents to which the user does not have access.
In this way, users must know the exact URL of the collaboration site and have an authorised username and password before gaining entry. Once successfully logged in, system auditing ensures that any unusual access is identified at an early stage and ensures the administrators can fine tune the security permissions where appropriate.
The system also allows anonymous access to the home page providing visitors with background information on the mission of the LMBRU along with links to a support wiki and various online training courses.
More information is available from the LMBRU Business Systems Analyst.

Making The Most of Windows SharePoint Server 3.0
Many of you may already know this, but Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is built around technology provided by Windows SharePoint Server 3.0 which in turn is a free component of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and can be installed onto Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
WIndows SharePoint Server (WSS) 3.0 provides many of the standard functionality which you’ll require from an enterprise document management system and is perfect for small businesses to organise and share documents in a common, web enabled or office based environment. Whilst it lacks some of the oomph of it’s bigger cousin, many businesses and academic institutions use it to provide simple web portals for employees and customers alike.
Three Bears IT have experience of providing such solutions and making the most out of functionality that’s readily available as part of standard Microsoft Windows Server implementations. You’ve paid for it, so make the most of what’s on offer.
