Questions You Should Ask Your SharePoint Deployment Company

by jane 15. July 2010 10:35

Before you hire your SharePoint deployment company you should ask certain crucial questions to ensure that you are choosing the right company to deploy SharePoint in your organisation.

The first and the most important question that you should ask your software company is their experience level as an organisation in terms of the number of years they have been dealing with SharePoint.

Secondly, you must also check for the average experience level of the experts that will be engaged in the deployment of SharePoint in your organisation. This is a very important question because as a software company they may have several years of experience, but the professionals that are present at the time of deployment of SharePoint in your organisation, may just be newbies in SharePoint. This will certainly become an area of concern during the implementation stages. So it is best to establish the average experience level of the individual software professionals that will be engaged in the deployment of SharePoint in your organisation.

Thirdly you should ask the versions they work with and make sure that they specialise in the version that you would like to deploy in your organisation.

Fourthly, you should ask your SharePoint deployment company for a detailed picture of the required hardware and software.  You must also make sure that you understand the cost involved in having the required hardware and software in place.

You should be clear about the nature and the duration of SharePoint support you will get from your deployment company. Once you deploy SharePoint 2007 in your company, you will have to live with it day in and day out and you are likely to run in to problems. The answers to “when you do run into such problems how do you deal with them” and “who you will be running to for help”, should be established before you venture into SharePoint 2007 deployment. Many companies struggle in this area because they get inadequate SharePoint support from their software company either because their software company has insufficient experience or because they lack enough manpower to provide the required support.

Overall cost for the implementation of SharePoint 2007 and subsequent support will be of paramount importance. You must make sure that you understand their pricing structure very clearly before you contract your software company.

Having specific experience in your industry is an added advantage so this should be one of the important questions you should ask your SharePoint deployment company.

Questions on overall timeline for the deployment of SharePoint for the entire organisation and the measures that you would be required to take for seamless integration of SharePoint 2007 for your organisation must be answered.

It is not enough to ask these questions, you should make sure that you get satisfactory response from your SharePoint deployment company.

Dynamic Forms A Decisive Step Towards Going Green

by jane 15. July 2010 10:28

Today not only large corporations and big companies make lot of efforts to go green but even smaller corporations and medium sized businesses are putting their best foot forward in terms of going green. It has to be admitted that many companies in the beginning were using ‘going green’ as their marketing tool to project themselves as an environmentally responsible company. Today however thankfully there is a noticeable shift in the trend. Many companies today are making genuine efforts to help the environment and to leave as small a carbon footprint as possible. Many companies are becoming increasingly responsible in this area.

One of the most effective ways of going green is by using dynamic forms or digital forms instead of paper forms. It is not enough just to add notes such as, “Think of the environment before you print this email.” and “Don’t print this email unless you really need to.” Though such efforts are to be appreciated, they are just passive approaches. You need to take a more proactive and positive approach towards going green and that is the need of the hour. If your company uses a lot of surveys or questionnaires or any other form of information gathering as any part of your business for which you are currently using the conventional paper and pen method, then here is your chance to take that proactive step towards going green.

The whole idea about the ‘going green’ concept is using less resources. When we use digital forms, we will reduce the amount of paper that we use in our operations, this will contribute towards reducing the number of trees that are cut every year and reduce the carbon that is emitted into the environment. That is not everything, you will also use less electricity because you will not need a large team of back office executives processing your forms, and the list of green benefits continues.

When you choose to go green by using digital forms, the benefit is not only to you but also for your budget and profit. Except for the initial setup costs, you will save a considerable amount of money month after month and year after year. This will bring down your overhead costs dramatically. Isn’t this what every company is trying to achieve? Here again, is your chance for cost cutting. Here in this case going green also has an element of selfishness but in the good sense. Going green by the use of web forms, PDA forms and digital forms after all creates a win-win situation for you. When you have nothing to lose but have everything to gain, do not hesitate to make that shift in your organisation.

Common Mistakes Made During SharePoint Implementation

by jane 15. July 2010 09:09

So you have decided to implement SharePoint in your organisation and you have started looking for a company to assist you with the entire process. Companies make a number of mistakes during the implementation of SharePoint which lead to unsuccessful or less effective deployment of SharePoint.

Before you start your search for a software development company to help you with SharePoint deployment you should have a very clear understanding of your entire organisation and the document flow within the organisation. Remember, the success or failure of your SharePoint deployment will depend totally on the quality of information that you supply your software company. If any wrong information is passed on or miscommunication should take place in this area, then it will result in serious problems at a later stage.

Secondly, many companies just jump into this process without realising the complexity of the task they are undertaking. So you should understand that SharePoint deployment is a very complex process. You will certainly need the best experts in this field and with their help you will be able to face the challenges more effectively. This also involves hard work from your end as an organisation.

Thirdly, companies try to evaluate their service provider or software company solely based on the quote offered rather than basing their decision on the experience level, quality of solution offered, reputation of the company, possible future SharePoint support etc. This often backfires as they end up spending more on solving the issues created by ineffective deployment of SharePoint.

Having poor hierarchy in terms of access, permissions, administrators, contributors, authors, approving authorities etc, is another common mistake. This often happens with companies that have very little knowledge about SharePoint but like to implement it in their organisation. This is where the software company should help your company understand the implications of implementing SharePoint in your organisation and how it could be effectively put to use. Only an experienced company will be able to offer such help to their customers.

As implementation of SharePoint is a complex process, it may not be readily welcomed by the entire organisation. So, before the implementation, the idea should be sold well throughout the organisation so that every stakeholder cooperates in whatever way required during the implementation of SharePoint and for the successful running of the system. Many companies take this factor for granted and fail to sell the idea well within the organisation.

Ineffective training, motivation and follow-up are other common problem areas. Companies fail to spend enough time training and motivating their staff in the effective use of the new system that they are deploying. If effectively used, SharePoint will increase the efficiency of the entire organisation.

by Administrator 5. July 2010 22:50

So many small businesses think that they cannot benefit from SharePoint and that is meant only for big companies with a hefty budget for their CRM. Contrarily, you do not have to spend a lot of money for deploying SharePoint. You just need to pool in minimal funds and you will be able to enjoy long term savings. You will also be able to improve your organization’s efficiency a great deal. This will only result in higher profit levels.

Developing Digital Forms – Areas Of Concern

by Administrator 5. July 2010 22:48

Realizing the importance and the advantages of digital forms in data collection and in surveys, many companies are moving from conventional data collection methods to digital data collection strategies. Using digital forms or using form software certainly enhances the productivity and the efficiency of the data collection team. However, this does not mean that this path is totally without challenges and without any hassles.

The first factor that comes as a major area of concern to the entrepreneurs with limited budget, is the cost involved in creating and managing these digital forms. Several factors come into play while implementing such a system. First of all, it will involve developmental costs. Secondly, it will involve implementation costs to implement the system through out the organization. Thirdly, it also involves training costs as the data collection staffs that are used to conventional data collection strategies using paper and pen method need to learn to use the respective tools, PDA forms, online forms or digital forms. Though there are long term benefits and long term cost savings, not all companies can afford the overhead costs. So it is important that the entrepreneurs find the best software development companies to create suitable digital forms within their budget.

Secondly, many companies do not have the technical expertise to review their software development companies and their skills. As a result, they end up with unreliable service providers and inexperienced software development companies to have their form software developed.

Thirdly, the transition from the conventional data collection methods to digital forms itself can be a challenging process. It has to be done in a seamless way. You will certainly require a reliable company that will work closely with you to make the transition as seamless as possible.

If you can see, most of the areas of concern discussed are revolving round the software company that you choose to develop. So if you can lock on to the right company to develop your digital forms, most of your problems will be solved or will not occur at all.

One of the things that you should do before you hire your software development company to create digital forms for your needs is to spend time learning about digital forms and digital data collection. When you have sound background knowledge, you are likely to make the right decisions with regard to their service providers. There are companies that take advantage of the ignorance of their customers. If you happen to work with such a company, you are likely to end up in loss and with an ineffective system.

Never make your decision with meeting just a single service provider. Added to that, you should not make your decisions merely based on the cost.

Using Reputed Companies For SharePoint Deployment

by Administrator 5. July 2010 22:46

When you are in the process selecting your company for SharePoint deployment, you need to take into consideration number of factors. One of the major factors that you should take into consideration is the reputation of the company that you choose for your SharePoint deployment.

Reputation is not just a single factor, your SharePoint deployment and planning service provider will enjoy good reputation only when their overall quality of the service is good. Before hiring your company for SharePoint consultancy and deployment, you should first make a thorough survey of all the top service providers. You will be able find feedback about your SharePoint deployment company by making quick searches on the internet using the name of the service provider. This will reveal a lot of things. If there are any negative feedbacks or reviews, they will come to light. This will also help you find your company’s strong points. Because customers will not keep mum in both cases. If they experience very poor service, they will go online to air their views. Customers will also share positive reviews if they are overwhelmed with the quality of service and with the support they receive from their SharePoint integration company. You will therefore be able to learn a good deal about your SharePoint deployment company by making quick online research.

Many people try to choose their SharePoint consultancy service providers just based on the costs involved. This cannot always be the best way to assess your company. This does not mean that reliable service providers are always expensive. For instance at Igroupltd.co.uk, all the services are offered at a very competitive prices but at the same time the quality of the service offered and the customer support is unmatched in the industry.

Your SDPS, SharePoint Deployment Planning Services Company should have vast experience because only experienced companies will be able to understand your requirements fully. Inadequate knowledge about your business vertical and your requirements can result in poor deployment of SharePoint across the organization. Experience is also one of the constituting elements of the reputation of your service provider.

If you hire a brand new company in the industry, one, they will lack experience and two you will have no way of establishing their reliability as they will not have any history that you can link their services to. Only when you choose a service provider that has been in the industry for a considerable number of years will be able to assess their credibility and reliability. If you rush to select your SharePoint deployment service provider without proper review, you are likely to be disappointed if not frustrated.

Dealing With Software Development Timeline Issues

by Administrator 17. June 2010 18:00

One of the concerns raised by customers when they approach a software development company to outsource their software requirements is the timeline issues. Whether it is business application development, business management software or windows mobile applications development, if you do not work with the right service provider, you are likely to run into timeline issues. If you want to deal with software development timeline issues then you should know the common problems that result in timeline related issues.

The first important factor is of course the experience of service provider or software development company. The company you choose to work with should have specific experience in dealing with similar projects. They should not be experimenting their skills or use your project as a test ground. Only when they have experience in dealing with similar work, they will able to match the schedule. If they lack experience, they will spend a lot of time in learning rather than on executing the work.

The second problem could be that your software development company can be an experienced company in the related field but the specific resource that is allotted to work on your requirements may not have sound knowledge about your requirements. Either because he or she is newly recruited or their specialty area is something other than your requirements.

The third common problem is your software company taking up too much work than it could actually handle with the resources they have. This happens very frequently with most companies. The number resources a company has is often outdone by the number of projects they take up. As a result each resource is dumped with work and they are distracted too much with multiple projects. This will also result in poor quality work and increase the number of issues in the work done.

It can also happen that your software development company has fixed unrealistic timelines either because they have not understood your requirements fully or because they wanted to impress you with their turnaround times. This will obviously result in your service provider not meeting their deadlines.

Yet another problem is poor communication cycle. If the communication cycle is not synchronized properly, then too you can face timeline issues. In some cases, customers may also fail to respond in a timely fashion resulting in deadline issues.

There can be more than one problem why your project is facing timeline issues. Most of the problems can be avoided completely by choosing the right service provider and by having a systematic approach to the task at hand. If your service provider is highly experienced in the respective field, then they will have highly streamlined procedures which will anticipate all possible bottlenecks in the development cycle.

Selecting The Right Software Development Company

by Administrator 15. June 2010 07:40

Selecting the right software development company is always a huge challenge because you will never be able to know what is actually in store for you when you are hiring a software development company to help you create custom forms or to deploy PDA forms. Here are some of the factors that you should take into consideration while selecting your software development company to create web forms or digital forms for your organization.

The most important factor here is the experience level of the organization that you want to work with. Your software company should have very specific experience in creating PDA forms, digital forms, mobile forms or survey software. There are many software development companies in the industry but not all of them specialize in this niche. You will be able to get more reliable solutions by choosing a software company that has worked with digital forms solutions.

The second important factor that you should consider is the reputation of the organization. The software development company that you choose may have experience in creating PDA forms or digital forms but they may not be good service providers. Experience alone does not make a service provider a good company, there are number of factors that go into the making of a good service provider.

Your software development company should be able to provide you with customized solutions. They should not give you some off-the-shelf software with little customization. They should be capable of creating custom forms that suits your specific needs. Besides that, you should be able to get good pre-sales and post-sales support. Many companies offer excellent pre-sales support but once the payment part is over, you will get very little or no attention from them. You should therefore review the reputation of your software development company in terms of their post-sales support. For instance, we respond to all your concerns and queries in 60 minutes or less during regular business hours. Only when you can get dependable support, you will be able to deploy and manage your digital forms successfully.

The solutions they provide you should help you increase your profitability by enhancing your productivity. Look for a company that will not try to meet your requirements but exceed your expectations. Your software company should be committed to helping you achieve financial success through their solutions.

Above all, your service provider should provide you with cost effective solutions. Higher the cost of your digital forms deployment higher the overhead costs. When the overhead costs are too high, it will certainly minimize your profit. So it is vital that you get your solutions within your budget. Added to that timely completion of the work is also important so that you can start enjoying the benefits of the digital forms solution that you are deploying in your organization.

Business Management Software Solutions - Factors To Be Considered

by Administrator 8. June 2010 06:28

Are you in the process of finding the best business management software solution for your business to enhance your efficiency and improve your productivity? Here are some important factors that you should consider.

Before approaching your business management software solutions provider, you must first set your goals. You should first be clear about what you want your business management software to do. In other words you should establish the scope of the business management software.

Secondly, you should decide whether you would like to go for readymade or off-the-shelf software products or custom made software applications. When you go for ready to install software solutions, you will have certain limitations. Such products may not meet your requirements 100%. The main reason for such limitations is based on the fact that readymade business management software products are not designed keeping your business in mind. Such products are developed using general business needs. If yours is a highly specialized niche, then it is best to go for custom application development. One of the major constraints here could be budget. Custom application development will indeed be more expensive than using readymade software products. However, it is worth the investment as you will be able to accomplish exactly what you would like to using custom developed business management software.

Thirdly, you should find an experienced company that is capable of dealing with your requirements. You must make sure that your software development company is well staffed to see through the completion of the work they start in a timely fashion. They should be a well established company. Look for the certifications and accreditations they have. For example igroup is Microsoft Gold Partners, Microsoft Small Business Specialist and ISO 9001 – 2000 certified company. Such certifications increase the credibility of the company that you would like to deal with. There is lot of difference between hiring a small group of freelancers that offer application development services in their free time and a full service Microsoft certified company for your application development needs. Using a well established company you can also ensure on going support for the software you develop. Moreover, if you want to upgrade your business management software, it is much easier to deal with such needs if you were to engage a reputed software firm where as you have no guarantee of finding your freelance application developers again for further support and upgrading needs. You must always make your decisions based on future needs and requirements and ensure that you are covered for such needs as well.

How can conversion of paper forms to electronic templates help your business?

by Administrator 25. May 2010 06:49

Many companies have their executives in the filed collecting various types of information from their customers, prospective customers or even from general public at various levels. All the information collected will have to be processed once again at the back office to make the data gathered into meaningful information. However, both data collection and data processing are highly time consuming. You will be able to minimise the time required for both by converting your paper forms to electronic templates which can be used in PDAs, tablet PCs or laptops.

You will just need reliable form software that will allow you to create custom forms. Once your paper forms are converted to electronic forms, then both data collection and data processing will become completely hassle free.

One of the major advantages of using digital forms is that you will be able to have instant access to all the information your workforce has gathered without having to go through tedious back office processing work. You will not need a back office team to manually type the data collected to convert it in to digital format. Rather than collecting the data in paper to pen format, electronic forms allow you to create data directly into digital format. You therefore save a considerable amount of time and money. When compared to the set up costs involved in converting paper forms to digital forms, the long term savings are far greater than the initial investment. If the volume of data collected is huge, you will need a huge back office team. On the other hand by using digital form, you can do with a much smaller team just to download the digital data to the required network or computers.

As the data collected is already in digital formats, you or your executives can produce instant reports. You can also generate real time reports. You will be able to accomplish a lot in just few clicks. Digital forms are highly suitable for surveys on customer satisfaction, customer expectation, census surveys, taking order requests, etc.

Data management will be fully simplified and data manipulation in terms of generating multiple report formats will be much easier and faster. Your mobile executives will be able to process information on the go without having to depend on back office staff. Moreover, the information can be made available instantly on the internet making it possible to access the data from any part of the world. This will make the data available for the entire organisation right from the data collection stage. The entire organisation need not have to wait until the completion of back office data processing which otherwise will be the case with paper forms.

As digital forms have number of benefits more and more organizations are moving towards electronic forms.

The Need for Reliable Windows Mobile Applications Development

by Administrator 13. May 2010 19:28

By dealing with companies with inadequate experience, you will not be able to get the desired results. You will need a reliable and stable application that will not let you down before your customers.
