Mary Kay wants to be more than just another pretty face, and the company’s IT department is digging deep into Microsoft’s Office 2007 product lineup to make that happen.
The 43-year-old cosmetics company with more than $2.2 billion in annual sales in 2005 is focusing on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 to become the foundation of its content management, collaboration, search and business intelligence efforts.
MOSS is part of a family of Office-branded products that includes software, hardware and a Web conferencing service for real-time communication. The lineup includes the traditional Office applications, Office Communications Server 2007, Exchange Server 2007, the Office Communicator 2007 client including a version for phones, and the Office Live Meeting 2007 Web conferencing service.
Microsoft’s intent is to provide users with a single platform for real-time communications that can be integrated with traditional desktop and network applications, mobile devices and the business processes that run across all three.
Mary Kay’s goal is to set up a corporate collaboration infrastructure with MOSS as the hub that ties together front-end Office applications, such as InfoPath forms technology, real-time communications and a Vista desktop.

MOSS also will become Mary Kay’s main content management repository and workflow engine to automate its manual business processes.
