What is SharePoint?
It's a productivity tool. There is a free flavour. And if you are not already, you should be exploiting it.
Whether you want to start out by using the free of charge Windows SharePoint Server (WSS) software or looking to roll out a several thousand user Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) environment, Maxima will work with you to streamline processes, modernise the user experience and ensure your SharePoint platform is management, resilient and scaleable.
The common project areas include:
- Intranet deployment for internal communications and education
- Portal deployment for employee, customer and supplier self service
- Document management for organising, controlling and finding important information normal held on unsecure file shares
- Project team information sharing and collaboration, often used to improve bid and project management
- Supplier invoice and purchase requisition approval to streamline and discipline the process
The benefits we typically deliver with our SharePoint projects include:
- taking time out of processes (often hundreds of hours a week)
- extending the life of an existing application by making it easier to use, roles based and integrating other information sources (portal)
- improving management visibility so that you spend more time using that producing information
- reducing legal risk by providing an audit trial for processes and making it easy to find the final version of key legal documents (eg. contracts)
- a governance plan to ensure your SharePoint environment does not become chaotic and fragmented
- a cost effective, highly available and resilient platform that can be delivered on premises, via a managed service or as a subscription service
