We often hear the following concerns from our customers when discussing technology infrastructure:
Our users are frustrated with the performance of the current system
We use SharePoint well inside the business but cannot collaborate with our partners and customers
Our users get annoyed with having to enter their credentials multiple times when navigating our systems
Some of our SharePoint solutions have evolved into mission critical applications but we are exposed through a lack of effective backup and disaster recovery
We cannot support our flexible working initiatives because our users cannot access critical content and systems when they are not in the office
We anticipate huge growth in the number of users and volume of content but are unsure how to plan for scalability
We have a complex estate of technologies and applications.
Consumer-driven expectations around how web-based applications should look and feel are driving branding and user experience to the top of the priority list for many SharePoint deployments. But business and IT teams alike are aware that the continued success of any SharePoint solution will depend on its ability to instill and maintain trust in its users. Not just through a familiar experience that mirrors corporate culture and values but equally through the more fundamental pillars of robustness, availability and performance.
In addition to our SharePoint team, we have a dedicated Infrastructure practice that is focused on providing advice, strategy, implementation and support services for our customers across the following disciplines within the context of SharePoint solutions:
Identity and Directory Management
Firewalls and Reverse Proxies
Single sign-on, Authentication and Security
Disaster Recovery, High Availability and System Resiliency
Performance and Capacity Planning.
We help our customers build solid foundations through effective engagement with internal IT and infrastructure teams to understand the “as-is” technology landscape and challenges and jointly build an infrastructure design and roadmap that is aligned with the strategic goals of the solution.
We would be very interested in understanding if there is a fit between your own requirements and the services that we provide. If you would like to arrange a call or a meeting to discuss, please contact sharepoint@imgroup.com
