Building and maintaining a SharePoint portal or site takes a lot of work, much of it behind the scenes. The more successful your sites are, the more administrative work there is to do. Fortunately, the Bamboo SharePoint Administration Suite includes a number of tools that can help, by giving you powerful new options to add to sites you design, and simplifying (or offloading) the maintenance tasks that pile up once your site is up and running. Here are just a few of the things the SharePoint Administration Suite can do.

Site Creation & Design. Most SharePoint sites are created for a purpose, and an intelligently designed site creates an environment where users can easily find, access, and add to the information stored there. How do you do that? Start by sending users to the right site. Group Redirect and User Redirect allows your landing page to automatically send visitors to different sites, based on their identity or their membership in certain groups. Next, create an easy to use site navigation system with Bamboo Navigators, a series of visually appealing tree, menu, and button controls that convey your site's logical structure to visitors, and make navigation a snap. Then, make your data accessible with tools like List Print, which allows visitors to quickly filter and condense list data into streamlined, bare-bones datasheets ready for hard copy distribution. If you're not looking to change the world with a particular SharePoint site, streamline the creation process with Site Creation Plus, and you'll have your new site up in a flash.

User Management. Administrative tasks can bog down even the most efficient administrator. Fortunately, Bamboo's various admin tools make common procedures a snap, and best of all, help you safely and securely offload them to the very users who need them done! Quickly change, reset, or set up expiration notifications regarding user passwords with Password Change, Password Reset, and Password Expiration, respectively. If you're facing an influx of new users, try User Account Setup, or slap together an externally facing User Registration Assistant site, and let users request new accounts in a secure, audited environment. You can even create accounts automatically for requests that meet your custom requirements. Once everyone has an account, keep profile information organized and in sync with User Profile Plus and User Profile Sync.

Communication. Bamboo's powerful communication tools keep your users plugged into what's happening on the portal, without bogging you down in a deluge of emails. With Alert Plus, users can be notified when a property of a list or task item changes (based on your own custom CAML queries), while My Alerts Organizer and Alerts Administrator let users and administrators easily manage out-of-the-box SharePoint alert system by creating, deleting, editing, or filtering out different kinds of alerts. Or, make it easy for users to quickly contact everyone in a group directly from SharePoint, by adding the Group Email Web Part to your page.

With a number of individual Web Parts (and more on the way), the SharePoint Administration Suite is a complete solution that adds functionality and versatility to your SharePoint Portal, allowing users to more efficiently track and maintain all projects and reporting needs. Why buy all at once? In addition to paying a fraction of the normal retail price, you also receive other exclusive benefits that are not included when you purchase the products individually.
