Progent's Certified Experts Offer
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Consulting
SharePoint 2010 offers a wealth of new capabilities for improving business collaboration and streamlining management reporting. Progent's SharePoint specialists can help you plan and configure a SharePoint solution that integrates tightly with Microsoft SQL Server, Office, and Project to improve your productivity.
SharePoint 2010, Microsoft's comprehensive platform for business collaboration, is designed to facilitate the creation and maintenance of web sites for a variety of group activities like sharing information, co-authoring documents, distributing reports, and providing advanced business analytics by integrating both local and remote databases and visualization resources. SharePoint 2010's focus on teamwork through information sharing can have a significant positive impact on your business culture and your bottom line.
SharePoint 2010 includes a wealth of new or enhanced features that make this release a better platform for business collaboration and reporting than prior versions of SharePoint. The enhancements cover six capability areas by which Microsoft categorizes the functionality of SharePoint 2010: Sites, Communities, Content, Search, Insights, and Composites.
The Sites capability area refers to SharePoint 2010's support for the creation of web sites that facilitate sharing, managing, and publishing documents, projects, and other types of information within groups that include colleagues, partners, vendors, and customers.
Communities covers both the tools that allow users to collaborate and the management resources available to manage these tools.
Content means Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools that allow you to define document types, enforce compliance standards, set retention policies, and automatically sort content.
The Search capability area refers to intranet search, people search, and tools to design and deploy specialized search-based applications.
Insights covers the ability to generate in-depth reports that allow actionable information to surface in the form of scorecards, dashboards, and charts built from data extracted from a wide selection of sources.
The Composites capability area refers to the ability for managers and end-users to create powerful custom sites and pages without having to write code.
For details about the new and enhanced features of SharePoint 2010 in each of these capability areas, refer to SharePoint 2010 Consulting Services.
How Progent Can Help You with SharePoint 2010
SharePoint 2010's extraordinary reach can impact every aspect of your information network. To design, deploy, and support a SharePoint solution that delivers the full benefits of this powerful platform requires a support team with exceptional breadth and depth of technical skills and business savvy. To build and maintain an in-house support staff with all the appropriate expertise is beyond the budget of most small businesses and would not in any case make good business sense. Progent's team of 80+ IT engineers has the experience to oversee successful SharePoint 2010 installations and the resources to provide ongoing support as needed, saving you the expense and stress of recruiting and maintaining a permanent in-house IT support group and avoiding costs associated with false starts or with poorly architected solutions.
Progent's Microsoft Gold-certified consultants can help you assess the business benefits of implementing SharePoint 2010 either to upgrade an earlier release of SharePoint or as a first-time installation. If you are migrating from a prior version of SharePoint, Progent can help you plan, test, and execute a smooth upgrade. Progent can also help you design and carry out a migration to the latest versions of software that integrates tightly with SharePoint such as SQL Server, Office, and Microsoft Project.
If you are installing SharePoint for the first time, Progent can help you inventory your information assets and help make sure that all relevant data sources are coordinated within your SharePoint environment. Progent can also help you convert diverse libraries of collaboration and management reporting tools into a unified, easy-to-maintain solution based on SharePoint technology.
