Care Converge SharePoint and InfoPath Case Study

Project
SharePoint Portal
Technology
MS SharePoint 2007, MS InfoPath 2007, MS .NET, SQL 2005, Active Directory
Problem
The client had multiple critical business processes that were being performed using Microsoft® Word™ and Excel™ Templates. All of this information was being shared and discussed using internal emails and documents were stored on the employees local machine. There was no way to track progress, completion or approval.
Solution

Care Converge was entrusted with the task of creating a SharePoint Portal solution that formed the foundation to facilitating business collaboration between employees across the client's different locations.

The Care Converge team started with a business analysis of key businesses processes that needed to be streamlined using the SharePoint Portal . Meeting with key business stakeholders, the team was able to determine the business value of each of the existing processes as well as all proposed modifications that were preferred. Once the team had understood the needs of the business, the next step was to create a project plan for the re-engineering of these processes into collaborative workflow enabled SharePoint sites that would enable employees to create, share and approve information. A phased approach was planned with a mix of business applications deployed in each phase based on business need.

The Care Converge team was then able to develop a master portal site with sub-sites for each specific department and related business processes. Document Libraries, Lists, Discussion boards and other SharePoint features were used to create business applications around the SharePoint platform. Custom web parts using .NET were also created to resolve specific business requirements.

As the team completed the development and testing of each phase of the project, business users were invited to test the applications for accuracy and functionality. On approval, the sites were deployed and are currently in use.
