Microsoft Sharepoint: Solution software packed into one


Having started my IT career with a small solution provider, I had never thought that I would work for bigger software implementations and solution development. I started working focusing clearly to understand the need of companies, businesses and enterprises and set out to provide them a software or online solution that would serve their needs and requirements. I started working as a Sharepoint Consultant with Microsoft and their SharePoint software solution is a favorite for me. The business dynamics today almost mandate that each company or business working with tons of presentations, documents, reports with networking and need to connect have the software implemented for their business processes.

SharePoint consulting process


Microsoft SharePoint allows for a whole lot of solutions packed into one that can be customized for any business. It allows a business to have:

  • Its own web interface and design for a page, its layout
  • Develop intranet, extranet and web pages
  • Have online content management solutions
  • Enable document management with limited or requisite access
  • Develop networking or social networking websites for business and professional networking

With a whole range of solution that this one software brings to business, it has become a preferred solution for online business needs and document management needs.

Sharepoint Consulting: Ensuring a solution development team.


As a part of the SharePoint Consulting team, working with clients each day is a new learning experience. While some have relatively simple expectations for reporting and intranet portals, some requirements are such that they push the limit of my thinking to the brim. Having worked for over two years as a consultant, I have realized that the need to think creatively to develop solutions. This has two-fold advantage:
  • The solution developed or idea generated is more creative and cost effective
  • Not all implementations and solution developed are the same for different clients
Many companies have needs that are not accommodated through standard system, software or the solution and requirement is felt for something more creative and need to wear the thinking hat. This enables and ensures that we as a solution development team deliver:
  • Solution that not only meets and fulfills business requirements but also reduces costs for the company
  • Reduction in effort for the employees
  • Smarter use of time when it comes to stakeholders, suppliers, customers or end users need for any kind of information, data, file, reports, updates and need to connect
  • Smarter intranet and internet portal interface and links to ensure single interface connectivity for all people who deal with business
