Unifying information

Most SMEs store information in multiple locations - in various file formats, on stand alone desktops, in multiple applications and databases, etc. Hence, in a typical business environment, people spend a substantial amount of time only in searching multiple locations in the desktop or the network to find the right piece of information. Unless enterprise information are properly organized, people will even abandon the search before they find useful information.

Generating information of course could be time consuming. It certainly comes with a business cost. However, unifying the information does not have to be that way. Deploying Microsoft’s SharePoint Portal Server 2003, Vishwak helps small and medium organizations capture and maintain enterprise information that can provide the users answers for some interesting questions such as: What they do? How they can better what they do? What are the gaps between what they do and what customers actually want them to do?

In short the organizations can gain insights into the best practices, business processes, business intelligence and customer requirements, among others. From our experience, effective SharePoint implementation invariably resulted in more effective organization of information that helped our customers to identify the market trends and the ways in which they can respond to them quickly.

Flow information across business applications

No portion of an organization's business is carried out in isolation. However, many business applications use proprietary protocols, do not integrate with other applications, and require their own user credentials to sign in. More and more organizations are looking for ways to integrate their business processes so they can streamline operations and share information more effectively.

Vishwak’s solutions on Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 envisage a platform for integration of applications and the information flow. The good news is that in many cases, you can integrate your business processes without abandoning your investment in the existing systems.

SharePoint Portal Server 2003 supports emerging standards such as XML and integrated technologies such as the Microsoft .NET Framework. These technologies provide an integrated environment for new and existing applications. With broad integration services and single sign-on capability, you can use SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to integrate multiple applications into the portal. This makes your applications easier to use and support, which helps your organization create an integrated solution without abandoning its existing investments.

Collaborate on the information

Teams need to communicate, share tasks, and work together in order to get their work done. Additionally, team members often need to work with people from other teams and divisions to complete tasks. This is even

more difficult when people are located in different locations.

Vishwak’s solutions that are build on SharePoint Portal Server 2003 helps you find, communicate, and collaborate with information and people no matter where they are located.
