SharePoint Development

When a company makes a decision to enter into a Sharepoint Development, it is generally a large decision and a significant financial investment. Whether the company has decided to develop a new Intranet system, Database management programme or to build their website on a Sharepoint platform, the commitment is a long-term one. At Sound Idea we have extensive experience in the needs, concerns and system requirements of both Sharepoint and the companies that choose to have their systems developed in SharePoint.

Assessment
The first step is to access the value of what SharePoint’s various features have to offer the company. There may be a need to develop a Sharepoint Web Part in .Net to accommodate more intricate needs within the system.

Architecting and Design
It is important that in the planning phase the needs and requirements of the system and the company that will be using that system be mapped out accurately. By identifying “bottle necks”, communication issues and workflow issues from the ground floor it becomes far easier to evaluate what internal communication needs may be more effective. We take every new system and company at its point of need. That is, we do not attempt to sell unnecessary SharePoint built systems when they will not form a valuable and intrinsic part of the company workflow processes.

Development & Implementation
Once we have identified the relevant and required components of your Sharepoint System, we select and build the programme. As mentioned before, sometimes a Custom SharePoint Web Part may be required for a particularly tricky or complicated system application. We develop these from the ground-up in C# .Net. These home-grown applications are built specifically for the system and remain fully compatible with existing Sharepoint offerings.

At Sound Idea we believe that a successful development hinges on a deep, empathic understanding of the communication and internal-systems requirements of each and every individual company. We seek to understand the specifications and build them in our minds before we begin physical implementation. This is the cornerstone of our programming philosophy and represents the strength and integrity of our products.
