SharePoint 2010

Quick Start deployment

Let our experts build the core SharePoint team collaboration experience for you

Our proven three stage Quick Start guarantees a successful outcome by working through a structured list of deliverables to make sure we leave behind a production level documented system.

Additionally, and at no extra cost, we provide a report and action plan which outlines our view of the steps you should consider taking to get more out of SharePoint 2010 and your investment in Microsoft infrastructure solutions.

How It Works

We work through a pre-requisites check list to ensure the success of the Quick Start. In conjunction with your IT staff, we determine what hardware and Microsoft infrastructure is in place. We then work ahead of time to address any issues, for example, any new or additional accounts needed. Our experience shows that making sure we understand your environment before we arrive on site maximizes the effectiveness of our work.

Once our pre-requisites are signed off we arrange the on site element of the quick start.

SharePoint Foundation 2010 - The Business Collaboration Platform for the Enterprise and the Web.

SharePoint Foundation is for organizations or departments looking for a low-cost entry-level or pilot solution for secure, web-based collaboration. Use SharePoint Foundation to coordinate schedules, organize documents, and participate in discussions through team workspaces, blogs, wikis, and document libraries on the platform that is the underlying infrastructure for SharePoint Server. SharePoint Foundation is secure and easy to manage. With SharePoint Foundation, your people can quickly access the documents and information they need to make good decisions and get work done.

SharePoint Foundation 2010 can be added to a supported edition of Windows Server 2008 Server without further licencing cost. It is the basis upon which the rest of the SharePoint 2010 product set is built. You can be sure that by starting with SharePoint Foundation you are using the right building blocks for your SharePoint infrastructure.

SharePoint helps teams stay connected and productive by providing easy access to the people, documents, and information that they need to make well-informed decisions and get work done.
