whitepaper Insurance Service Provider Boosts Value of Information Assets With New CMS Tool2009-06-25 Microsoft
  The National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI) offers workers compensation insurance information on its custom-built Web portal. However, manual content management processes that required IT involvement hindered NCCI employees' ability to update content on the portal and keep up with archiving old data. Also, an outdated tool negatively impacted search results. To improve content management for employees and the search experience for any site visitor, NCCI migrated its Web portal to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and used its Web content management and integrated search capabilities. Now employees use Office SharePoint Server 2007 workflows to control content lifecycles, maintaining a pared-down site with timely information that serves visitors who perform more than 800 daily searches.

whitepaper Architecture Firm Gains $1.8 Million Annually in Billable Time From Search Solution2009-06-24 Microsoft
  Little has more than 10 terabytes of data that it needs to search on a regular basis to serve its clients, and thought that a Google appliance was the way to provide that ability - the price, however, was deemed unaffordable. Instead, Little got the search capability it would have gotten from Google, and more, with a technology that it already licensed: enterprise search capability in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. The use of enterprise search helps employees find information that may have been created long before they joined the company, helps the company collaborate more successfully with its clients through the use of searchable extranets, and helps the firm save time worth up to U.S. $1.8 million per year in billings.

The pilot brought together the simple, intuitive user interface of the Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 note-taking program with the robust document management technology of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. As a result, pilot participants reported a significant decrease in the number of e-mail messages they send each day, and one group reported a 15 percent increase in efficiency.
