Laying the Foundation
Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server is a flexible and powerful platform that brings the user-driven Internet experience into a corporate environment. A truly scalable SharePoint solution should have a carefully planned deployment approach. The lack of such an approach can quickly result in “SharePoint sprawl.” Dell’s methodology starts with laying the foundation of a proven infrastructure, governance and operational model, which includes core SharePoint services and then allows for future customizations and applications.
Collaboration
The proliferation of collaborative platforms (blogs, wikis, project sites, public folders) in the marketplace has resulted in multiple, redundant collaboration tools within many organizations. Dell simplifies collaboration with a SharePoint solution flexible enough to meet your business needs, while providing IT departments with a unified, scalable and manageable platform.
Search
Enterprise level search is a fundamental component of any SharePoint implementation. A comprehensive search solution is critical to providing users with quick access to the data they need. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, and Microsoft Search Server 2008 as a standalone platform, can scale to any size organization to help users find mission critical data across a variety of sources – file shares, business databases, intranet sites, and more. Dell has the expertise to assist you in deploying an integrated and secure search solution based on these Microsoft technologies.
Content Management
Web pages, corporate policies, and other managed records require a framework for structuring content and a process for publication, editing and approvals. Dell’s SharePoint deployment experts have proven information architecture (“corporate taxonomy”) models, which can be easily adapted to suit your organization’s needs.
