Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 is the next generation of Microsoft FrontPage that enables both the design and customization of SharePoint 2007 sites. SharePoint Designer 2007 allows organizations to automate common business processes through simple or complex, linear or multi-branched, custom workflows. Corporations can apply their corporate branding to their SharePoint portal providing a unified look and feel to all their end users. Companies can also create customized SharePoint sites based upon the unique needs of your company's end users, teams, or departments without having to turn to outside consultants.
This intensive, SharePoint expert-led, three day course provides each student with a practical introduction to both workflows and the customization of SharePoint portals using SharePoint Designer 2007. Course candidates typically work in medium to large sized corporations requiring custom line-of-business workflows or branded SharePoint Server 2007 corporate portals.
