  6. Multiple Web Configurations • With XM Edition, PW Web Server supports two configurations: • Traditional configuration for HTML client • Known as “Web Explorer” client • This client is now static from a development standpoint • No new development • Will continue to be supported until SharePoint WebParts matures

  7. Multiple Web Configurations • With XM Edition, PW Web Server also supports SharePoint configurations • SharePoint configuration • Referred to as ProjectWise WebParts • Provides ProjectWise back-end with SharePoint front-end • Provides the value proposition of ProjectWise in a SharePoint environment

  8. What SharePoint is • SharePoint is a collaboration tool from Microsoft • Allows an organization to quickly/easily build interactive web collaboration sites • Included with Windows 2003 Server • So basically, it’s free for internal use • For External Use • Must purchase SharePoint Portal server • As a collaboration took, SharePoint provides: • Calendars, lists, tasks, discussions… • And yes, it also provides limited document management

  9. What SharePoint is not • SharePoint is not an Engineering Content Management solution • No MicroStation or AutoCAD integration • No Integration with vertical applications • No plotting integration • No Indexing / full text search (for CAD files) • No distributed storage • No publishing / web viewing of CAD documents • No Geospatial features

  10. Our goal with SharePoint • Keep the engineering content stored in ProjectWise • And allow it to be accessed from a SharePoint collaboration site • But, avoid copying (duplicating) the files to SharePoint
