Featured Case Study

Industry: Architecture

Service: Intranet Solution

Client: Our client is an architect firm that specializes in designing civic spaces, including libraries, community/recreational centers, universities, and community colleges. Its talented studio of architects pursue an ideal of active community involvement and environmentally responsive design.

Challenge: As business continues to grow, our client needed an intranet solution separate from its web environment that would improve its internal communication without investing in additional hardware. Design relies heavily on version control and collaboration. Without a shared network, its architects were not working as efficiently as possible. The company needed a well-designed team site to increase collaboration and productivity.

Solution: MidTech installed Windows 2003 server to host SharePoint services and recommended Microsoft’s SQL server to share databases with SharePoint and the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application for improved performance. We created a site template with our client’s logo and color scheme to make users feel at home. In addition, we created HR, Technology, and Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) sites under the intranet site collection to meet the firm’s specific needs. MidTech also set up a blog to promote collaboration among company users, providing a central place for discussion and relevant news. Finally, we implemented a company calendar for company events and team meetings, ensuring team members would be kept organized and up to date.

Result: The implementation of an intranet solution has led to increased productivity in employees and efficiency for company operations. A centralized, collaborative space ensures version control for design documents and enables discussion among team members. Sensitive data is secure and safely accessible to the entire staff, and the firm’s architects can now focus on their product: great design.

10 Reasons to Deploy SharePoint 2007

1. Provide a simple, familiar, and consistent user experience

SharePoint 2007 is built around Office 2007 providing a very familiar and tightly integrated workspace that is easy and familiar to use. The design flows between all aspects of both products providing a consistent user experience.

2. Boost employee productivity by simplifying everyday business activities

SharePoint 2007 comes out-of-the-box with powerful workflows for initiating, tracking, and reporting common business activities such as document review, approval, issue tracking, signature collection, and more. These features are tightly integrated with email, productivity applications and the web for a rich experience. Best of all, you can take advantage of these features without any coding!

3. Help meet regulatory requirements through comprehensive control over content

SharePoint 2007 provides powerful security settings and policies that can help enforce compliance with corporate regulations. Whether it’s auditing policies, authentication, permissions, or expiration actions, SharePoint gives the granular security detail you need to secure your content.

4. Effectively manage and repurpose content to gain increased business value

Business users and content authors can create and submit content for approval and scheduled deployment to intranet or Internet sites. Managing multilingual content is simplified through new document library templates that are specifically designed to maintain a relationship between the original version and different translations of a document.

5. Simplify organization-wide access to both structured and unstructured information across disparate systems

SharePoint 2007 enables your users access to critical data in line-of-business systems like SAP and Siebel. With personalized views and rich interactions with back-end business systems through a browser, SharePoint delivers robust access to the information your employees need in one central location.

6. Connect people with information and expertise

SharePoint goes hand-to-hand with Enterprise Search. Powerful tools enable your employees to find business data along with information about documents, people, and Web pages to produce comprehensive, relevant results. Find what you need, fast.

7. Accelerate shared business processes across organizational boundaries

SharePoint provides intelligent electronic forms incorporating applications such as InfoPath 2007 to provide collection solutions to critical business information from customers, partners, and suppliers via a convenient web-browser interface. With a direct link to back-end system data, you avoid common errors and redundancy inherent to manual reentry.

8. Share business data without divulging sensitive information

Excel Services is one of SharePoint 2007’s built-in features allowing the display of Excel spreadsheet providing your employees access to information in real-time. This allows a centralized, up-to-date version of key data shared by all parties in a standardized interface while protecting sensitive information by having the ability to control what information in the spreadsheet can be displayed.

9. Enable people to make better-informed decisions by presenting business-critical information in one central location

Creating powerful, interactive business intelligence portals is easy with SharePoint 2007. Dashboards, web parts, scorecards, key performance indicators, and other business data can be assembled, arranged to suit your company’s needs. SharePoint makes deploying portals easy and quick and upkeep is a snap with centralized reporting and comprehensive management tools.

10. Provide a single, integrated platform to manage intranet, extranet, and Internet applications across the enterprise

SharePoint 2007 is built on an open, scalable architecture, with support for Web services and interoperability standards including XML and Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). The rich, open API allows for flexible development with event handlers for lists and documents. Leveraging technologies such as .NET to provide integration with existing systems even with non-Microsoft IT investments.
