Using our hosted SharePoint solution your organization will have the ability to easily, and economically, create corporate Web portals with document management, content searching, and team collaboration features.

Our SharePoint solution reduces your document, information and knowledge management costs by:

Eliminating the time spent searching for documents
Eliminating the errors, wasted time and embarrassment caused from using the wrong version of critical documents
Improving information distribution and knowledge management
Improving operational efficiency
Improving the quality of document change control
Providing customer and partner collaboration in a managed, secure web environment
Increasing the reliability and integrity of your document collaboration and management process

Managing team projects can pose several significant, expensive challenges:

Sifting through document drafts for recent updates
Keeping work organized
Trying to stay on the same page as the rest of the team

Meetings are expensive and can become excessive, time consuming and unproductive. Changing information can create confusion among team members, particularly when participants are located in other cities, other states, and even other countries.

With our Hosted SharePoint Services solution, end users can quickly and easily create a private, secure, and customized web site that centralizes all their project information. They can control access to their site through easy-to-use security features with the ability to share files, edit and store documents, and create a centralized contact list. And most importantly, every team member can access their project site from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection and a Web browser.

Features that make Microsoft SharePoint Services a cost effective document and information management tool:

Lifecycle Management: Create private documents; review and revise the documents; including multi-party approval routing and tracking
Security: Ensures that only users with appropriate access can see a given document
Collaboration: Discussion features that provide a document specific forum for communications
Subscribe: Based upon user criteria, they are automatically notified when documents are modified
Custom categorization: Content can be classified under a set of user-defined categories
Change Management/Version Control: Document changes, including metadata such as keywords, are tracked and assigned different version numbers for auditing and rollback
Windows integration: The Microsoft Office 2000 toolbar offers a complete set of document management tools
Digital Dashboard: Based on Microsoft Digital Dashboard technology, the SharePoint Server enables the development of web part-based portals using digital dashboard layouts and content interfaces, using third party or custom web parts
Search engine: Auto-categorization of content, "most likely,” and property searches;
Indexing: Scheduled indexing of file and Web servers, Microsoft Exchange Server Public Folders, Lotus Notes servers, and remote servers for SharePoint Server
Check-in/Check-out: check documents in and out, through a web interface, Windows explorer, and within Microsoft Office XP
