Calsoft has developed a tried and tested methodology that rapidly helps you reap the business benefits you seek from your SharePoint solution. Calsoft has developed a best practice approach based on years of experience gained on multiple projects spanning many industry sectors. The various offerings include
Management Briefing Sessions
This session is targeted at enhancing the awareness of the top management about the benefits of Sharepoint. Interactive sessions lead to answers on how the product can be implemented to derive benefits to the organizations.
Solution Architecting and implementation
Once the organizations have decided on Sharepoint as the tool, our consultants help in configuring and implementation the solution. Armed with experience of implementing sharepoint solutions of various sizes, we help the IT organization to scope the infrastructure requirements as well as the architecture of the software components. Scalability is one of the key considerations in our recommendations thus ensuring reduced Total Cost of Ownership. We also recommend some 3rd party solutions which can integrate and offer a comprehensive solution.
Solution Development
This phase starts typically with a Requirements gathering session where all the key requirements are noted down and alternate solutions discussed. Some of the solutions are developed as a prototype for better understanding. Once the requirements are agreed upon, the solution is developed along with the different interfaces. After exhaustive testing and user training, the solution is deployed. Calsoft also offers support for such solutions.
Development & Customization of Web Parts
Apart from implementing the existing library of web parts, we also create new webparts and customize existing ones based on the need of your needs. Over a period of time we have developed our own collection of web parts which are reused for quick solution delivery.
Designing Sharepoint Interfaces
Some of drawbacks that arise out of limitations in the interfaces are overcome by developing new ones. While some of the customers simply want to keep the same general layout but change colour schemes, logos etc others would like to implement radically different interfaces. While first is relatively easy, the latter calls for developing new controls and overriding the many default style sheets. Our team of web designers and developers work together to ensure enhanced usage experience along with rich features.
Training
We offer two types of training. One is targeted at the IT department so that at the end of the implementation phase they are trained well enough to develop web pages themselves. The other is targeted at the end users in using the developed application. The proper segregation of audience coupled with targeted course materials ensures quick learning and faster adoption of the solution.
