3i People’s SharePoint Methodology includes following components:
 Strategy
The process begins with a comprehensive analysis of your business objectives in order to develop the strategy for the solution. The strategy provides guidance and direction for the implementation team and your organization throughout the lifecycle of the solution – not just the implementation.
During the assessment and strategy phase, we define your vision, and explore the improvements and value that can be gained from implementing the right solution.
Architecture
The architecture represents the physical and logical structure for the solution. Since the physical and logical architecture are interrelated and critical to solution adoption, we typically focus on this directly after developing the strategy to ensure alignment.
Following an expert analysis, we help you produce an architectural design and project plan for deploying an end-to-end solution that is right for your environment.
Our planning and design phase deliver:
| |
- customized infrastructure architecture
- Logical and physical data models
- Data mapping
- Portal design
- Proven migration, upgrade, and implementation strategies |
User Engagement
User engagement includes both how users will interact with the solution such as the interface and overall look |
|
and feel as well as the management of change management of change within the project. In our experience, projects are successful when there is a strong partnership with the users and our approach is to begin building this partnership at the inception of the project.
Execution:
The execution focuses on developing a detailed plan for achieving project objectives. We leverage the framework, tools, templates and processes to ensure that a plan is developed that will move in the direction dictated by the strategy and achieve project objectives.
This phase helps you construct and transition to the new solution, transfer knowledge to your staff, and prepare your users. The result of the execution phase is a cost-effective solution based on a well-engineered design, with less disruption to your day-to-day operations.
Governance:
Governance relates to the processes used during the project execution as well as the ongoing processes developed and deployed for the management of the overall solution. Governance represents the framework for the project and is a critical component to the success of the solution after deployment.
Well-defined Governance helps gain efficiency and improves information access as well as team productivity as we define and implement policies and tools to reduce SharePoint sprawl and increase information access. |
