SharePoint Platform Accelerator

InfoStrata Solutions has compiled a solution offering for our customers, called SharePoint Platform Accelerator (SPA). 

SPA is a highly cost-effective development capability comprising:

  • SharePoint: MOSS or WSS
  • Quest Web Parts for SharePoint
  • Nintex Workflow 2007
  1. Quest Web Parts for SharePoint - Rapid and Flexible system building, and within budget.

    SharePoint makes it simple for end users to create new sites and rapidly add information. However, as organisations consolidate their data in SharePoint, it is common to seek new ways to exploit their data, build dashboards, include information from external systems or relate the data in more useful ways. Such enhancements are not always straightforward in SharePoint without custom development.

    The Quest Web Parts for SharePoint will help to:

    • Simplify and Speed Up Development - Use data from anywhere in the enterprise. Build applications, menus and dashboards through configuration rather than coding.  Reduce the cost and time to build applications by up to 80 percent.
    • Connect SharePoint to External Data - Quest Web Parts allow you to use SharePoint to easily view, edit and add data from external applications. Connectors to SQL Server and Oracle come with the web parts, together with a toolkit for building new connectors.
    • Extend Development Opportunities without the heartache - System architects, business analysts or power users can easily use Quest Web Parts to create sophisticated applications without coding.  On the other hand, professional developers use the Quest Web Parts to eliminate much of the repetitive coding, but make full use of the "Custom Action" facility to extend the functionality of the web parts using C#.  Quest Web Parts for SharePoint supports SharePoint 2003 and 2007, WSS and MOSS, 32-bit and 64-bit installations..
