echo for SharePoint 2007 helps IT professionals update, test, deploy, and configure the SharePoint platform. It will help you manage all aspects of SharePoint, such as Workflows, Content Types, Metadata, Features, and Solutions.
echo is a powerful tool that allows administrators to quickly and easily manage changes and settings across multiple site collections and farms, and between Development, Staging and Production environments. echo can manage your migration from SharePoint 2003 to 2007 by provisioning your new Site and Metadata taxonomy, and by importing content to the new structure. Deploying design, workflow and web parts is as simple as updating once and pushing those changes to your target sites.
If SharePoint is a productivity tool for users, echo is the productivity tool for administrators.
