Collaboration: Be Effective from Anywhere

 

Your organization probably has experience with systems like PeopleSoft, JDEdwards, Oracle Financials, or SAP—systems that are built for and deployed within vertical business functions. These applications support structured decision making and processes within their business functions and across the enterprise; nevertheless, silos exist between the applications themselves and the decisions and processes they support. This environment can make it difficult for business users to drive collaborative decision making that crosses business units and spans multiple business functions.

 

Siloed information, leading to ad hoc collaboration and processes

The people and processes in your organization need to interact effectively to increase the organization’s competitive advantage. That is, the better your organization is at connecting information workers to your business-critical processes, the more successful it can become. One way to do this is by connecting your people to the business critical data that drives their processes.

 

 

SharePoint 2010 solution, leading to positive impact on business performance

With the breadth and flexibility of SharePoint 2010, your organization can create, implement, and improve the processes that impact business performance. SharePoint 2010 can connect a broad audience of users to business data that currently resides in siloed systems and is only accessible to specialized users and IT professionals. SharePoint 2010 also empowers every user—from information workers to power users and professional developers—to use and build solutions based on this business data to streamline processes, which can result in better, faster decisions for the organization.

 

 

Implement, Extend, and Improve Business Processes by Building Solutions on SharePoint 2010 by MSP1

MSP1 can help deploy SharePoint 2010 to enable business-critical solutions across your organization, examine your current operations and identify where business processes can be improved or streamlined. Business processes are specific to your organization down to the departmental and even end user level, so your solutions will be unique. However, time and cost efficiencies can be gained by using out-of-the-box solutions native to SharePoint, as well as vertical and horizontal solutions by independent software vendors (ISVs) and systems integrators (SIs). For example, ISVs provide extensions—such as enterprise social networking applications for sales and service functions—atop the native social media, blogging, and people-search capabilities of SharePoint. These applications add industry-specific and function-specific capabilities and features, ranging from dealership networks in an automotive environment to maintenance and field service applications for asset lifecycle management.

Deliver Fast Return on Investment and Decrease Business Risk

Using SharePoint 2010 to surface business data from your LOB systems and build solutions can increase ROI, speed process improvements, and enable better decision making to increase business cycles, all within a highly secure and flexible environment. When you surface all of your relevant data to the people who need it when they need it, you are enabling them to make better decisions faster. This reduces mistakes that can result from misinformation and decreases your organization’s business risk.

Business units can reduce training costs because SharePoint 2010 offers the familiar Microsoft Office experience that enables people to quickly and easily adopt SharePoint, as opposed to training users on a variety of more complex LOB applications.

SharePoint can speed time-to-market of otherwise time-consuming and resource-intensive solutions to streamline business-critical processes. In addition, end user solutions and powerful search capabilities provide self-service functionality, which boosts productivity, reduces costs, and increases user satisfaction.

Finally, SharePoint can help to increase compliance—by enhancing security, privacy, and reporting through a flexible authentication model. This authentication model can help your organization to maximize its SharePoint 2010 deployment while maintaining highly secure control over corporate assets to increase compliance.
