Here are some of the
Microsoft® SharePoint
customer case studies
Concern Worldwide
Knowledge-Sharing
Solution Helps NGO Lower
Costs, Improve Project
Management
One of the
world's leading humanitarian
organisations, Ireland-based
Concern worldwide employs
4000 and has an expanding
base of local partners. To
carry out its mission,
Concern must quickly process
information into knowledge
that it can distribute to an
increasingly diverse
workforce and partner base,
so that critical information
and funding is available
when needed. Working with
Microsoft®® Services,
Concern developed a
people-centric
knowledge-sharing system
based on Microsoft® Office
SharePoint® Server 2007 and
Office Groove® Server 2007.
The new proof-of-concept
solution has helped Concern
improve knowledge management
inside and outside of the
organization. In turn, that
has helped Concern become
more responsive and
efficient and better able to
distribute funds where they
are needed most.
Cork
County Council Planning
Department
Council
Improves Productivity,
Information Access with
Document Management System
The Cork County Council
Planning Department is
responsible for evaluating
planning applications for
Cork County, Ireland. The
rapid growth of building
developments in Cork County
has resulted in a twenty per
cent year on year increase
in the volume of planning
applications. Due to
government staff number
restrictions and statuary
requirements, the Planning
Department needed to work
smarter to ensure that the
work is turned around within
the prescribed time. To do
this, the Planning
Department worked with
Microsoft®® Services to
create a document management
system based on Microsoft®
Office SharePoint® 2007
technology.
Bord Gais
Eireann
Microsoft®
SharePoint Delivers Access
to Project Management
Information Easily and
Efficiently
Bord Gais
Eireann is spending €1.4
billion building out its
transmission network to meet
the projected demands for
natural gas in Ireland up to
the year 2025. These
infrastructure developments
will effectively double the
size of the distribution
network. Engineering
projects are outsourced to
external project consultants
that are responsible for the
design, procurement and
construction management.
Project management required
that documentation of all
types should be available to
the relevant people from a
central repository. This was
achieved using some bespoke
software with Microsoft®®
SharePointâ„¢ Portal Server
and SQL Serverâ„¢.
Beijing
2008 Olympic Games
Beijing Olympics Builds
Powerful and Flexible
Information Search System
The 2008 Olympics in
Beijing, China, will host
10,000 athletes, 302 events,
7 million spectators, and
more than 20,000
international media
personnel. Beijing will use
a Web portal called INFO
2008 to provide Olympics
partners and media with
continually updated
information and event
results. To provide accurate
information promptly, the
BOCOG needed a powerful
search solution for INFO
2008 that would perform at
high levels and integrate
into the portal's user
interface. The BOCOG used
Microsoft®® Office
SharePoint® Server 2007™ to
create powerful search
features for INFO 2008, so
users can find the facts
they need easily and
quickly. Olympics athletes,
officials, partners, and the
accredited media will be
able to search and find the
information they need to
successfully present,
promote, and report the 29th
Summer Olympics. |
