There is a fundamental issue that every company: large, mid-sized or small, faces when faced with inevitable hurdle of collaboration comes into play. How do we deal with this? What methods do we use? What methods are the best for us? What will be the learning curve between both parties? How can we guarantee a smooth transition into this collaboration?

Once again, VerstaadTech understands. We have extensive experience in collaborating with a multitude of companies ranging in several different sizes and backgrounds – and finding the right collaboration tools for them. And with the world’s professional businesses already mostly integrated with Microsoft systems – we’ve found Microsoft Dynamics SharePoint software to be one of the best fits to corporate collaborations.

It’s designed to improve performance, reliability and scale operations while providing a foundation for future innovation. SharePoint can be used to create internal use websites. It provides a centralized secure cloud based platform to store, organize, share and access information from almost any device.

The ever-changing business conditions require organizations to be agile, which require investing in solutions that provide reliability and flexibility. SharePoint Server provides the flexibility to tailor deployments base on the unique demands of each business enterprise. Contact us today if your company utilizes Microsoft Systems and needs help in any of the following:

Cloud-Inspired Infrastructure

• SharePoint Server: SharePoint Server is a full-featured software product that provides industrial-grade communication, collaboration, and content management. It is like an augmented version of SharePoint Foundation. SharePoint Server comes in an Enterprise and Standard edition for both Internet sites and Intranet sites.
• SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) Integration: This feature installs an SSRS server specifically to work closely with the SharePoint environment. In an integrated installation, SSRS reports are contained and managed in SharePoint instead of in a standalone program (Report Manager).
• Report Builder: An end user tool that can be launched from SharePoint and is designed to build SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports.

Modern User Experiences

• Dashboard Designer: An end user tool that can be launched from SharePoint and is designed to build PerformancePoint content.
• Excel Services: This feature of SharePoint Server embeds Excel documents in a SharePoint Web site where they can be viewed (which helps with version control).
• Sites: A SharePoint site is a Web site that SharePoint manages in ways that are compatible with its content-management features. SharePoint sites can contain many user facing SharePoint features such as Document Libraries, Lists, Wikis, Blogs, and Discussion Boards.
• Key Performance Indicator (KPI): A feature of SharePoint (and of SSAS) that provides a quick visualization of business information that the organization considers indicative of how well it’s doing. KPI data is contained in a KPI list that can be embedded in SharePoint Web sites.
• InfoPath Form Services: This feature of SharePoint Server allows InfoPath forms to be embedded in SharePoint Web sites.
• Lists: Lists of data, made available on a SharePoint site that stores data in columns and rows. Almost all of the user facing SharePoint features stem from Lists. For example, a Calendar is actually a specialized List under the covers.
• Wikis: Specialized Web sites that allow community members to update content on the fly. SharePoint provides wiki functionality as a feature.
• Blogs: A Web log or online journal. A blog provides a forum for people to write communications that can be viewed across the entire organization. Once a blog entry is posted, the content can attract comments and discussions on the entry page. Blogs came to prominence as personal online journals; SharePoint provides tools for getting business blogs up and running in a manner of minutes.
• Discussion Boards: A designated intranet location for online discussion, accessible throughout the organization. A discussion board provides a forum for people to post questions and replies that can be viewed throughout the organization.
• Dashboard: A Dashboard is much like a Scorecard with the difference being that a Dashboard shows the status of key information but is not necessarily in relation to an overall goal. For example, you might have a dashboard showing current production on a day, week, month, and year to date scale without having a specific target production output you are trying to reach.

People-Centric Compliance

• SharePoint Foundation: SharePoint Foundation is a foundational program that enables communication, collaboration, and content management; it comes free with the Windows Server operating system.
• Business Connectivity Services (BCS): BCS is a feature of SharePoint that connects to Line of Business (LOB) systems and displays the data that they contain in the SharePoint environment. The data can then be manipulated (read and write) directly from SharePoint without users having to know or care where the data lives behind the scenes.
• Document Libraries: A mechanism for storing content within SharePoint. A Document Library provides content management (which includes document check-in and check-out, versioning, security, and workflow).
• PerformancePoint: A feature of SharePoint that is designed to build advanced scorecards, dashboards, and reports.
• Scorecard: A collection of data that includes graphs, charts, numbers, and other visualizations of information that is designed to show progress towards a stated goal. For example, you might have a Scorecard that shows sales per quarter per sales person and how well that sales person is performing against a target goal.
