Costs
SharePoint
Building a
SharePoint intranet site might, at first glance, seem an expensive
proposition; having to take into account costs for a new server,
software licences, developer time, etc etc.
However, this need not be the case - if you are using Windows
Server 2003 or a later version of Windows, SharePoint Services (3.0)
is already available!
With a powerful enough server already in place, it is possible to
configure it to get your intranet up and running on your existing
hardware. All that’s
needed is some time to perform the configuration and get your site
set up.
SharePoint Services
v Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
If your
organisation wants to build a basic intranet site with an employee
directory, document repository (maybe one for each department),
wiki’s and blogs then SharePoint Services (WSS) is the most
appropriate package
for you. It can
also be used for building real time reporting dashboards and
delivering your financial reports (for different systems) via your
browser. Building
customised workflow solutions to streamline your business processes
is also possible on the WSS platform.
If, however, your
needs exceed purely internal usage and your site is to be used as an
intranet, with part of it to be published on the World Wide Web-
for example as your company’s website – then Microsoft Office
SharePoint Serve is the best option for you.
This system
will give you the tools to make sure that the content you publish on
the web meets your organisation’s strict standards and approval
processes.
Training
Gas Light's IT
training packages seek to solve particular problem areas within a
company. An initial
visit is made by the trainer to ascertain the specific business
requirements that need fulfilling, as well as areas for improvement,
prior to the training session.
These areas are then covered in detail during the course,
with the result that the company is not only left with a new IT
solution, but also staff who now have the knowledge to maintain and,
if necessary, reproduce it.
Gas Light provide
training courses of an extremely high quality.
Rather than long, intensive sessions, when even the best
staff can reach a limit of what they can take in, Gas Light prefer to
limit the duration of the sessions and are happy to make a another
visit at a later stage if necessary.
We also recommend training either one-to-one or in a groups
of 2 to ensure that your staff get the maximum amount of tutor time,
allowing them, and the business, to get the very best out of the
training.
