Microsoft Sharepoint Application Underutilised

Jan. 20, 2009 - PRLog -- In the past many companies functioned as they always did with the same activities been undertaken year after year.  Now in 2009 companies are now recognising that this manner of business is unsustainable and those that do not change will not survive in this environment.

Companies now have to get down and dirty and review all aspects of business that can be set aside and introduce systems that will in the long term reduce cost and generate more revenue. One system that has gained a lot of credibility lately is Microsoft Sharepoint and when used properly can contribute positively to firms overall processes.  Microsoft founder Bill Gates describes Sharepoint as “one of the most underutilised assets” in the Office productivity suite. With businesses becoming fragmented and their employees more mobile Sharepoint could be the piece of the jigsaw that was missing in the past in order to make work easy and more collaborative.  

Irish company Nvolve limited a software development specialist saw an increase in the demand for Sharepoint in the last quarter of 2008.  Lee Tedstone, Director of Nvolve says “with more people working from home and on the move it is fundamental that they have access to a collaborative workstation where they can view calendars, documents, to do lists and the like.  With this information available on demand individuals can then make more informed decisions in a minimum amount of time than before”.  Lee also goes on to say that “sharepoint also allows information to be shared through the use of web-based portals such as Wikis and blogs.  These collaborative tools have been assigned by many companies to date but it is predicted that in the future these collaborative tools will be part of the culture in which a company undertakes business”.

Nvolve develop solutions in the field of web application development, customised application development, programming and application integration.  Software skills that the team specialise in other than Sharepoint and .Net include ASP.net, MSSQL, MySQL, PHP and many more.
