SharePoint service providers are more than just a traditional web developer for the intranet and extranet. Behind Microsoft’s web application for companies hides a comprehensive tool for information transparency and productivity increases.
SharePoint is a secure place to store, structure and share information to use through a web interface, with a powerful back-end behind what appears to be a normal website.
SharePoint allows internal users in specialist departments to optimise their own information base. In addition, SharePoint is also a powerful development environment for experts, one which allows them to implement complex applications to existing internal and external systems, along with interfaces.
A SharePoint service provider must therefore be well-versed in various technologies in order to give their clients the full performance potential when setting up and expanding a SharePoint system.
SharePoint service provider: pay attention to these skills
SharePoint Online, Microsoft’s cloud based service that the software is used with, is almost always on SharePoint Foundation or on the larger SharePoint Server. Local installation of the SharePoint Server within your own IT infrastructure requires extensive knowledge.
In addition to the server-side installation and connection to other software solutions, enterprise content management, business intelligence functions, company-wide search functions, personal websites and newsfeeds should also be used during set up.
The SharePoint service provider therefore needs a deep understand of the company and its processes. Usually business informatics graduates with experiences in the business solution environment are used. Because SharePoint is almost always connected with Microsoft’s groupware and mail server software exchange and the conference software Lync, it’s also very important to understand these systems as well.
For manual adjustments, a SharePoint service provider should also know Microsoft .NET programming languages like C# or VB.NET. Experience in web development with ASP.NET, JavaScript, HTML, XHTML, CSS should also be part of the package.
