Microsoft SharePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is web server based technology that brings together the enterprise features of collaboration, document management and content management.

As well as offering feature rich components out-of-the-box, it is also a highly flexible and scalable platform for the development of collaborative workspaces, document stores, dashboards, portals or content-managed websites.

Our extensive expertise ranges from large scale corporate websites, developed and implemented using Moss 2007 and SharePoint 2010, to configuration of Intranets and Extranets using Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and SharePoint Foundation 2010.

​ Our in depth knowledge of the core SharePoint feature set means we can present clear options for implementation from the outset. We can help you define a strategy to make the best use of the SharePoint tools at your disposal, enabling the creation of secure and easy-to-use solutions to suit your specific business needs. We can also pass some of our expertise on to you through training and mentoring.

SharePoint is built upon the Microsoft .NET framework and this allows our expert .NET development team to build complex, feature rich components to integrate seamlessly with the core SharePoint deployment. Some of the components we have developed include powerful and easy to integrate WebParts, features and custom page layouts.

Some of our clients

Bacs

Bacs Payment Schemes Limited, the organisation behind Direct Debit and Bacs Direct Credit, is a not for profit, membership based, industry body, which in 2008 was responsible for processing more than 5.6 billion UK payments, with a total value of £3.85 trillion. Since 2008 we have been responsible for the development and maintenance of the Bacs corporate website and a number of microsites using SharePoint.

The Bacs website leverages the power of .NET integration to provide flexible features, enhancing in-house control by Bacs over the daily management of website content. The environment increases the speed of content deployment whilst providing a controlled release process for content managers.

The Bacs corporate website features multiple tiered levels of user access, online subscriptions and comprehensive FAQ sections. It covers over four hundred pages of content and hundreds of documents, both public facing and secure and has over 20,000 registered users accessing secure areas of the site. We have developed custom components for the microsites to employ integration with social media sites and visually rich 'rate this page' functionality providing a more engaging environment.

eLINIA

We developed and implemented the new eLINIA corporate website using SharePoint 2010.  This solution, which is tied into the existing SharePoint intranet, provides the eLINIA marketing team with seamless access to update and deploy new material onto the site through Active Directory integration directly from the desktop.

Estyn

Estyn is the office of Her Majesty's Inspectorate for Education and Training in Wales. This project demonstrates the power, flexibility and integration capabilities of the SharePoint  and Microsoft suite of products.

Using WSS, a collaborative extranet has been created to provide Virtual Inspection Rooms (VIR) allowing Inspection judgements to be captured using Microsoft Word and shared with team members. .NET WebParts provide complex functionality to collate judgements from several Word documents, ultimately producing a final Inspection Report. Online questionnaires are integrated within the VIR allowing learners, parents and providers to complete pre and post inspection questionnaires. The questionnaire structure and questions are maintained via SharePoint lists. Microsoft .NET components integrate with SharePoint to deliver the questionnaire functionality and suite of Excel reports provides questionnaire analysis.
