The Fabulous Forty Application Templates for SharePoint

Customizable templates that increases your business value

Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 comes with 40 new and customizable application templates. Each template provides some basic built-in functionality that showcases select SharePoint capabilities; encourages its use in a collaborative workgroup environment; and gives customers’ IT teams an opportunity to demonstrate how SharePoint can increase their organizations’ efficiency. The templates are designed to install easily, and can be configured through the SharePoint User Interface or customized using SharePoint Designer. The ability to customize the templates provides significant business value to your organization. You can apply your own logos and themes, and manage libraries and lists to meet specific business situations. These templates (and the extensions you apply) are prepackaged by you to ensure compliance with your company’s standards and best practices. Each template has the ability to be customized without code (using SharePoint Designer) which means that a broader set of users can be involved in the template-deployment process.
