Planning and Assessments

PTP has identified that one of the biggest failures in SharePoint implementation is not having a plan. PTP will develop a logical plan that will help your organization maximize the value of your SharePoint investment.

During our assessment we will interview key personnel to learn about your business, challenges, functional business needs, and current technology investments. We will map business needs to the SharePoint feature set to facilitate a successful SharePoint implementation. We will work with your organization to develop a distinctive SharePoint environment to fit your needs, that you will direct and control. In turn, this environment will empower you to use SharePoint to accomplish your relevant business needs.

Content Management

Content management is one of the most popular functions of SharePoint. PTP will setup SharePoint Taxonomy to configure document management so that documents can be organized and found easily.

Enterprise Content Management 

What is Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is a solution that enables the management, storage, retention, workflow, and delivery of documents and other content types across the SharePoint enterprise.

Managing Digital Assets

Digital asset management (DAM) includes functionality that supports the ingestion, annotation, storage, retrieval, and rendering of digital content, including audio, video, and images.

Managing Documents

Document management (DM) includes functionality to create, store, and track documents, document sets, and other types of content. The feature area includes a content organizer, a template for a Document Center, and infrastructure required to support the creation of document sets. It also includes technology that you can use to navigate through collections of documents and filter based on metadata, and a way to locate documents based on metadata defaults.

Managing Records and eDiscovery

Records management (RM) includes functionality used to identify documents as records, and ways to manage those records throughout their life cycle—identifying and creating records, eDiscovery or hold, auditing, expiration, and disposal.

Managing Enterprise Metadata

Enterprise metadata, or managed metadata, is a hierarchical collection of centrally managed terms that you can define and then use as metadata throughout SharePoint Server and other Microsoft Office applications. The metadata is managed because terms and term sets (collections of terms) are managed independently of the columns or fields that require them.

Managing Web Content

Web content management (WCM) enables the configuration, deployment, customization, and optimization of sites, site collections, pages, webparts, and documents.

Site Branding

When it comes to supporting your brand or representative identity, it’s essential that you have experienced designers work for you. With attention to detail, your branding initiatives, business objectives, and vision in mind, our team will bring your custom visualization to life.

Here at PTP we will turn your SharePoint platform into a well branded and cleverly designed digital experience. Branding is a multi-disciplinary endeavor, which mixes traditional, creative, web design skills with technical SharePoint development expertise. The success of both a SharePoint intranet and extranet solution is the SharePoint user interface design. Our in-house team of designers, developers, and power users all collaborate to deliver you the best results to satisfy your business needs and objectives. Our branding efforts include the following:

• Master Pages
• Branding
• Usability Testing

Collaboration

SharePoint makes collaboration among you and your coworkers easy. At PTP we provide the tools you need to work together.

Community Sites, My Sites, Microblog and Newsfeeds

Collaboration and communication are critical to success in any organization. Microsoft has developed SharePoint as the platform that provides for social computing and collaboration features, and they get better with each new version that is released. SharePoint allows for these features to empower enterprise users to widely share information easily with others in your organization, or outside your organization as you define. These features allow the enterprise user to interact and collaborate with others in specific subject areas.

The Community sites can be best described as the concept behind a forum function similar to what you may already know of discussion boards or forums on the internet today. This allows you to collaborate across your organization via discussions and focus on specific areas of interest to your organization. Community Sites introduces the concept of forums in SharePoint. With this feature, you can collaborate with a wide range of users across your organization and become part of discussions that focus on specific areas of interest.

Workflow

SharePoint inherently allows you to automate your business processes through both built-in and custom workflows that PTP can build for you.

Business Process & Workflow

SharePoint provides many features that can help you integrate and streamline your business processes. We utilize InfoPath Forms Services technology in SharePoint to create browser-based forms and gather data. People in your organization can complete forms in a web browser or HTML-enabled mobile devices. Workflows automatically move documents or items through a sequence of actions or tasks related to a business process. PTP can help you streamline the cost of coordinating common business processes, such as project approval or document review, by managing and tracking the tasks involved with those processes for your organization. Our team’s efforts will include:

• Streamline approval
• Submit reports
• InfoPath forms
• Increase efficiency
• Webparts and apps
• Enhancements to drive productivity
• Seamless connection to third-party products

Sharepoint Applications

At PTP, we can establish and train your business on how to utilize SharePoint applications to streamline your business processes and functions.

SharePoint Personnel Status Tracker

SharePoint Personnel Status Tracker is designed to centralize the tracking and scheduling of employees within an organization. This solution allows for up-to-date information on employees that can be tracked by supervisors.

SharePoint Personnel Status Tracker has three different user roles which include the following: administrator, supervisors, and employee. This solution allows for an administrator and supervisor to quickly group, sort, and assess the current status of employees via a color-coded graphic on the Admin page. This allows Supervisors to review schedule conflicts and future engagements and provides the ability to download and export.
