SharePoint Consulting Services
Microsoft SharePoint Server and SharePoint Foundation provide answers to the following business needs:
- Collaboration – working together on team projects and sharing information, often through ad-hoc processes, to accomplish project goals.
- Document Management – structured way to manage and share documents through the use of versioning, metadata, profiles, workflows, search, and information management policies.
- Forms and Workflows – form creation, distribution, reporting, and workflows to improve business processes
- Content Management – publishing and design processes for pages on portals or other web sites.
- Dashboards and Application Integration – a personalized user interface that brings together information from different line of business applications and other sources such as web sites or web services.
In addition, SharePoint serves as a development platform for enterprise applications. Development teams can leverage the following technologies within their own applications.
- Web Parts - organizing applications and deploying "web based windows".
- SharePoint Object Model – using SharePoint lists, version control, search, and security to store and present application information.
The product is very powerful. However, in order to fulfill your organization's unique business needs, it requires configuration and customization as well as training for the users, administrators, and developers.
