SharePoint For Business
Winxnet has over 10 years of experience configuring, implementing and customizing SharePoint for thousands of users. SharePoint is a unique application in that it can meet multiple business needs within the same workspace –without being custom-built. As leaders in the SharePoint field, we have provided the following services to our customers:
Project Management tools and workspaces
Intranet Deployment
Document Management
Collaboration
Secure Extranet Deployment
Centralized Self-Service Reporting
Business Intelligence data delivery
Business Process Optimization through standard and custom workflows
Customized composite applications
Custom design for internal and website implementations (This site is using SharePoint!)
Over the years we have learned several key factors that lead to successful SharePoint projects:
User acceptance is the key. No SharePoint project will ever be successful if the end users don’t use it. Our SharePoint experts assemble a team of business and technical users to set policies, procedures and guide the ongoing deployment. (Don’t ‘set it and forget it’)
SharePoint is not an IT initiative. Successful SharePoint projects are driven by business need and sponsored by senior business staff.
Start with a pilot project. Confirm that your SharePoint strategy is right for your organization. SharePoint is a great tool, but it is not always the right tool for every situation.
Use a phased deliverable approach. This approach ensures that the focus is on demonstrating SharePoint’s value early in the process, by breaking the rollout up in to smaller projects that can be delivered faster.
Remove the “IT Middle Man”. Put the content owners in charge of their own content. IT’s role in SharePoint is purely technical. IT should ensure that the system is fully functional, resourced appropriately to handle the demand, secured and protected. IT should not own updates to SharePoint content, this responsibility should lie with the content owners.
