ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 has received government certification for its ability to meet regulatory compliance standards.

Microsoft announced Tuesday that it received U.S. Department of Defense 5015.2 certification, which is concerned with record and document management.

To meet the certification requirements, Microsoft incorporated Exchange Server 2007, and will be releasing a free, add-on pack "later this year" that will extend SharePoint 2007's record management capabilities, according to a press release.
