The SharePoint Proposition

Solutions Powered by Microsoft SharePoint can help your organisation truly collaborate and adopt more efficient business processes. Your challenge is now to make this transition rapidly and cost-effectively. Many organisations are beginning to realise the potential of SharePoint-centric solutions. However, a number of important question need your consideration before deciding how to adopt this strategy:

• Will WSS do what you want or will you require MOSS ?
• Should you host internally or use an internet-based provider (SaaS).
• Do you have internal developers? Will you need to recruit or perhaps you would rather outsource?
• Do you want business owners to have configuration capabilities.
• Do you build or buy? ... and at what level?

Historically, business applications were confined to departmental silos. You would typically have to buy a packaged application and modify your procedures to suit, or bear the cost of building from scratch.

With SharePoint, organisations can build a business workplace that meets their unique needs, with their chosen look & feel, with the required functionality, and which integrates all of these facets into a single workplace environment. Furthermore, customers can take advantage of an increasing choice of solution templates to get started quickly, and can enhance their systems as new needs arise. All of this can be done without the costs of custom development, maintenance and systems integration.

SharePoint together with our range of best-of-breed add-ins facilitates tremendous productivity and efficiency benefits, whilst controlling short and long term development and maintenance costs.
