TULSA, Okla., October 18, 2011 – Stonebridge, an award-winning information technology consulting company and a Microsoft Gold Competency Partner, today announced that its SharePoint Enterprise Startup program has proven to be one of the most successful new service offerings in the company’s history.
Since the launch of the service a year ago, Stonebridge’s SharePoint consulting business has experienced double-digit growth in numbers of clients and a 50 percent gain in SharePoint project revenue. According to Senior Vice President Matthew Childress, client organizations taking advantage of the service include both new and existing Stonebridge clients, all with a common goal: build a strategic roadmap for the enterprise deployment of SharePoint.
“Our clients realize that value of the SharePoint Enterprise Startup is that it helps them gain a clear picture of SharePoint’s potential as an enterprise solution,” Childress said. “More importantly, it provides a strategic plan to get there and how to manage SharePoint effectively post-deployment.”
The SharePoint Enterprise Startup is a defined service offering designed to enable companies to make a fact-based decision about adopting or migrating to SharePoint for both portal and ECM solutions. The service is based on a proven methodology – built on Stonebridge’s deep experience in SharePoint enablement and customization – that enables Stonebridge to tailor SharePoint’s robust capabilities precisely to the needs of the organization.
Project activities and deliverables of a SharePoint Enterprise Startup engagement typically include:
- SharePoint Readiness Assessment
- Content Migration Plan
- Systems Integration Plan
- Infrastructure Plan
- Complementary Component Recommendations
- Deployment Decision Points
- Implementation Roadmap & Project Plan
According to Travis Osborne, Stonebridge’s Vice President of Solution Development, the value of the SharePoint Enterprise Startup offering has continued to increase since its debut.
“A lot has happened since the launch of the service,” Osborne said. “Organizations as a whole are feeling more comfortable with the SharePoint. Many are recalibrating their 2011 priorities and 2012 budgets to include SharePoint, whether as a widespread migration or a proof-of-concept project. What’s more, the huge SharePoint ecosystem of Web parts, apps, and utilities is catching up with the platform. All of these factors point to the continued value of the SharePoint Enterprise Startup in helping clients make the most of their SharePoint journey.”
