Before starting any SharePoint effort, OCI engages with our clients to gain a firm understanding of their operations, business needs, and requirements. OCI performs a SharePoint 2010 Readiness Assessment and Roadmap Analysis which includes the following key activities and deliverables, tailored to meet our client-specific requirements.

A proper implementation of SharePoint 2010 involves a healthy mix of business and technology consulting. It is imperative to engage in a proper analysis and Q&A period with organization managers to determine how SharePoint can provide a maximum benefit to a given client. Through this analysis, we develop a comprehensive set of functional specifications which encompass the desired SharePoint solution. Leveraging these requirements, technology teams can then implement SharePoint and develop the custom functionality and integration points with other enterprise systems.

If an organization has deployed an instance of Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and 3.0, SharePoint Portal Server 2003 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, and want to change platforms without losing all of the lists, libraries, permissions, web parts and metadata detail you have built into your existing SharePoint system, the upgrade process to SharePoint 2010 delivers support for gradual upgrades, granular migration, content reorganization, in addition to 32-bit source systems and even direct migrations from SharePoint 2003. The upgrade process assists an organization with quickly taking advantage of SharePoint 2010’s new features, without putting their valuable content at risk.

Many organizations today have enterprise solutions built on older Microsoft technologies such as SharePoint 2003 or Content Management Server 2002, and others have solutions built on competitive products such as Documentum, Plumtree, AquaLogic, or Lotus Notes. Clients operating with legacy applications continue to face the risk of losing support with a very limited developer community while struggling with limited features and out-of-the-box capabilities. Organizations are also looking to capture the business value of consolidation on the Microsoft technology stack. As a result, demand for migration from other systems to Microsoft SharePoint continues to grow as the platform becomes the standard for organizations seeking a core set of knowledge repositories and collaborative workspace capabilities.

The Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) Platform is a collection of familiar, intuitive, and highly scalable tools that work together to turn data into useful information and make it available to the organization’s team whenever and wherever needed. The core of Microsoft’s BI platform includes Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft SharePoint Server. Used together, these tools empower team members to do self-service analysis, share interactive reports, scorecards, and dashboards across the enterprise while viewing information at a glance in addition to preserving the ability to drill deep into the data to reveal the details.

When developing a SharePoint solution, it is important for the SharePoint User Experience (UX) to be intuitive, attractive, and representative of the organization's brand and professionalism in order to drive action and adoption. OCI SharePoint customization provides the ability for UX design and customization services to apply your organization’s unique brand identity and experience throughout your SharePoint portal or SharePoint public website.

OCI SharePoint Solutions Professionals believe it is necessary to add this special touch and go beyond the training process, to seek the feedback of the user community. The best way to find out if our clients are satisfied is to simply ask them. Once a system is back online, a user has a better idea of how it is beneficial for them. Additionally, we give them the opportunity to share with us what they like about the upgrade process. We are then able to capture any suggestions for actions to add to the system beyond what may have been discovered during the requirements gathering and testing phases of the process. This helps in assuring that the provided solution is well received and suited to the needs of our client.
