LOGICALIS STRENGTHENS ABILITY TO PROVIDE SEAMLESS DOCUMENT COLLABORATION AND SHARING INTEGRATION SERVICESGlobal Technology Provider Certified in Delivering Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services
Bloomfield Hills, MI – April 1, 2008 – Most IT professionals would agree providing strong collaboration and document sharing tools for their organizations is a no-brainer. But learning and supporting new tools and processes has been one of the biggest barriers to success. Much recent focus has been on new online collaboration tools. In fact, end users and the IT professionals that support them can simply collaborate and share documents today using the familiar interface of Microsoft Office tools like Word and Excel. To better support its customers with their online collaboration needs, Logicalis (www.us.logicalis.com), a global provider of high-performance technology solutions and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, today announced it had been certified in delivering Microsoft’s Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services.
The Microsoft certification means Logicalis has recognized MOSS experts on staff who have successfully delivered advanced collaboration, searching, and document sharing solutions to client enterprises.
“Corporate America is learning that collaboration can unlock efficiency, creativity, and productivity,” said Shaun Olsen, Logicalis Vice President of Consulting. “Logicalis customers are eager for technology like SharePoint that helps knowledge workers spend more time creating products and less time searching for information, connecting with each other, and figuring out who has the latest version of a project.”
SharePoint allows formal or ad hoc employee groups to work together seamlessly, even if members of those groups are on opposite sides of the globe.
Logicalis has already delivered a number of SharePoint solutions to its customers, including the international furniture manufacturer, KI, which uses SharePoint as the platform for an intranet that functions as a centralized virtual meeting place for information exchange and content management. Logicalis assisted KI with determining a new look and feel and structure for their new intranet through Logicalis SharePoint Information Discovery. Logicalis then assisted the integration of KI's current intranet content into the SharePoint system and assisted in helping KI create their new departmental sites.
“Logicalis has been instrumental in helping KI develop a strong collaborative intranet to support all our employees,” said Barb Streubel, Manager of Business Systems Development at KI. “The new Intranet provides our employees with easy access to needed information for news, events, products, company, training, and any other needed information necessary to perform their job in an intuitive and organized manner.”
Logicalis also designed and implemented a SharePoint Portal for Wilton Re, a reinsurance company based in Wilton, Connecticut. The portal facilitates collaboration, searching, and document management. SharePoint enables Wilton Re to implement and manage special security constraints, and it ensures that the groups and audiences put in place can grow with the company over the long term.
