Microsoft Office has brought business productivity into a familiar environment where people do their work every day with SharePoint.
SharePoint users benefit from the familiarity and consistency of a single environment that is easy to learn, use, and personalise for all their information and collaboration tasks. IT departments have a single platform and well-integrated set of technologies to manage and lower user support requirements.
Industry analysts, Gartner, say collaboration is becoming more strategic and organisations will increasingly observe, manage, monitor and measure and archive the artefacts of collaboration.
SharePoint is a valuable collaboration tool and a key plank in Sage Technology’s Unified Communications solutions.
Sage Technology plans to use SharePoint as its intranet, workflow and document management system.
It will provide a central location for all staff to view important company news and announcements and access documents.
Sage will also use SharePoint to enforce internal workflow processes including reviewing and approving materials such as Statements of Work before releasing them to clients.
Organisations can rapidly deploy SharePoint products and technologies—Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007—by using powerful out-of-the-box integration.
Sage Technology has a skilled team of unified communications specialists to implement and customise SharePoint solutions to meet specific corporate requirements.
SharePoint provides a single, strategic approach to the various challenges of information management and access, collaboration, and people-driven processes. This offers several significant benefits:
- Simplicity for end users who can leverage their familiarity with Office-based applications and the browser environment for all their information-work activities, regardless of their role or task
- Value and governance for IT, which only needs to support a single set of technologies to enable comprehensive capabilities across the enterprise
- Speed and flexibility for the business, which can customise and extend the platform quickly and easily at a variety of levels from personalisation to enterprise application development
- The security and scalability of a platform built for the enterprise
At a basic level, SharePoint can address specific needs related to collaboration, information access, enterprise content management, capture of information through electronic forms, dissemination of business intelligence data, and enterprise application integration through portal sites.
Sage Technology’s Unified Communications offerings include SharePoint as well as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or IP Telephony, converged networks and other collaboration tools. Sage have developed these skills and service offerings to address the strong corporate interest in the records management and full enterprise search capabilities of SharePoint.
