Microsoft SharePoint Server

The portal market has evolved since its inception in the document/content management worlds. Individuals inside and outside of a business can access disparate yet connected information from nearly anywhere.

Microsoft SharePoint has emerged as the clear frontrunner in the portal space and Net Fusion has helped numerous organizations through their SharePoint implementations. SharePoint 2010 adds even more exciting opportunities in the form of better content management, deeper social integration, more ubiquitous search, and powerful new administration tools.

The Challenge

The potential is clearly there, but developing and implementing a portal strategy can be a bewildering process for a business. A portal has the potential to touch and connect nearly any electronic asset; this presents technical and logical challenges that must be overcome.

Even in a basic SharePoint implementation, there are several key points that always need to be addressed.

In spite of a rich feature set out of the box, SharePoint shines when it is configured to an organization's needs and preferences. Some configuration is simple, such as changing the colors on a page, or the columns in a list. Other configuration requires planning and an advanced knowledge of SharePoint and related tools, such as SharePoint Designer, Visual Studio, and SQL Server.

SharePoint can also be extensively customized and extended by a software development team. These customizations involve writing new code, or even writing whole applications that sit atop SharePoint as a platform.
