whitepaper Standardized Portal Solution Increases Collaboration and Efficiency for Media Giant2008-04-01 Microsoft
  As an entertainment company, MTV Networks must ensure the free flow of ideas and content. However, the company's previous portal infrastructure wasn't helping much, as end users could not publish their own content. MTV Networks standardized on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, upon which the company deployed a new intranet portal, a Viacom corporate portal, and multiple Internet sites. Self-service content publishing enables groups across the company to communicate better, while rich collaboration and search features are helping global employees to easily find and share information. With Office SharePoint Server, MTV Networks is benefiting from a standardized portal platform that delivers new capabilities in a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective manner, and will serve the company well into the future.
