SharePoint Scotland is a KnowledgeBase Portal for Microsoft SharePoint 2007 for Scotland. This site provides information on SharePoint 2007 (WSS v3.0 and MOSS 2007), Office 2007, PerformancePoint Server 2007 and Microsoft Business Intelligence systems including SQL 2005 Analysis and Reporting Services.

This site is a public service information site provided as is, by Siva Phimister (SharePoint Web Developer at Aberdeen College). I have been working with Microsoft technologies for over 10 years since completing Computing at the Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. Currently working with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 having worked with SharePoint 2007 since the TR2 beta version release in 2006 and having used SharePoint 2003 previously.

My current focus is on SharePoint workflow, Forms Services with InfoPath 2007, Reporting Centre with Excel Services utilising KPIs and dashboards, surveys, site customisation, Business Data Catalogs and Microsoft Business Intelligence with SQL Server 2005 and PerformancePoint Server 2007.

Microsoft SharePoint Services allows teams to create Web sites for information sharing and document collaboration, benefits that help increase individual and team productivity. Microsoft SharePoint Services also serves as a platform for application development.
