Full Cycle Implementation

  • Consulting

    Before embarking on a SharePoint implementation project, you have to make sure your SharePoint initiative is bound to reap a sizable ROI rather than transform into a cumbersome mechanism with unreasonable TCO. Logicstrong provides SharePoint consulting services, helping companies to determine most beneficial ways of deploying or extending their SharePoint solutions to meet specific business needs, defining:

    • How exactly SharePoint will meet business requirements
    • What is total cost of ownership (TCO) of SharePoint implementation
    • How to maximize ROI of SharePoint implementation
    • What are functional and non-functional requirements
    • What are business and user requirements
  • Architecture and Design

    We carry out information design, logical architecture planning and network topology design, including legacy solutions considerations and integration with existing infrastructure (e.g. Active Directory, e-mail servers, firewalls), all with future growth in mind:

    • Determination of basic content types (metadata, workflows, forms, etc.), search design, content taxonomy, site collection policies, etc.
    • Multiple deployments configuration, Shared Services Providers, Web applications, site collections and sites, etc.
    • Configuration of perimeter network, domain trust relationships, etc.
    • Advanced considerations including security hardening and disaster recovery
    • Custom graphic design (both from scratch or based on the client’s corporate identity)
  • Integration

    Logicstrong provides SharePoint solution integration with enterprise applications on technological (e.g. .NET, Java, C++, Delphi, PHP, Ruby) and software product levels (including SAP, Oracle EBS, IBM FileNet, EMC Documentum, OpenText, Alfresco).

    • Bidirectional JCR-SharePoint connector (level 1+ compliance, including XPath and SQL queries)
    • EMC Documentum bidirectional connector
    • IBM FileNet bidirectional connector
    • IBM Rational ClearQuest connector
  • Deployment

    The SharePoint deployment service includes preliminary hardware and software setup (including network, Windows domains, firewalls, etc.), production platform roll out (authoring and staging if applicable), setup of high availability if required, and testing (e.g. trial run of the Disaster Recovery Plan, performance and load testing).

    Depending on the project budget and complexity, we can provide the following deployment models:

    • Remote deployment
    • Onsite deployment
    • Partner’s data center deployment using shared, collocated, unmanaged or managed hosting
