Microsoft SharePoint Services
The new way to work together!
Introduction
Our customers see tangible business improvements when using Sharepoint, becoming more efficient and more effective at satisfying their customers.
SharePoint is a collaboration platform that dramatically improves the way businesses store, share, and leverage information; especially integrating it into automated processes and workflows both inside and outside their organisations. Microsoft has really upped its investment in SharePoint in the past couple of years and it now forms a fundamental part of their Office 365 and other cloud-based product offerings.
This makes it even easier to connect SharePoint workflows into Office applications as well as Enterprise tools like CRM and ERP. Coupled with the possibility of adding .NET into the mix, it’s really opened up access to much more cost-effective ways to improve internal efficiencies and external differentiators.
We’ve been working with various application development tools for over 15 years now – typically as add-ons to CRM or ERP implementations, or in some cases fully standalone bespoke applications. The features of SharePoint are ‘coming of age’ and our Customers in these areas are seeing great downstream benefits.
