Our Microsoft certified consultants are an extremely diverse bunch of individuals, with knowledge and experience across all things Sharepoint and web. Whether it's technical planning or configuration, our consultants will always provide open and detailed communication.
Technical Planning
Our consultants are involved from the very early stages of a project, often attending workshops, to ensure that enough technical planning is considered.
They understand and implement the features required for your solution; from collaboration and content management through to workflows, processes and business intelligence.
Based on this information, they will establish which version of Sharepoint (foundation, standard or enterprise) is right for you.
Microsoft Best Practices
Consultants will not only focus on what needs to be customised, but also on how we can configure 'out-of-the-box' features to save you time and money.
In order to avoid common pitfalls and ensure solutions are developed to the highest-standards, our team follow Microsoft Best Practices.
These include proven and benchmarked methods for: configuration, capacity, performance, security, backup, deployment and more.
Configuration and Build
Many of Microsoft's platform products require a serious amount of configuration in order to optimise the software to work for you. Languages like PowerShell, XHTML, CSS and JQuery tend to be a consultants best friend!
Where necessary, add-ins, web parts or code are used to extend a feature to meet with a client's needs. Our experienced consultants can confidently make the customisations necessary without threatening your solution.
Sharepoint Branding
In order to ensure that content management works effectively for you, our consultants create robust and well tested master pages, page layouts and web parts.
Designs are carefully scrutinised before being integrated into a Sharepoint site – everything must be ‘pixel perfect’. This means considering resolution, browser and device type, as well as system pages, prior to any branding.
Architectural Planning
To ensure your infrastructure is resilient and can readily serve large amounts of content, our consultants carry out the necessary architectural planning.
Workshop sessions allow them to define taxonomies, site hierarchy and a holistic topology. Considerations at this stage include: farm size, failover, redundancy, sizing and SQL configurations for backup and security.
