Use SharePoint Resources to Maximize Your ROI



SharePoint has been the most dynamic platform of developing office management and document management applications in a shared environment at present. Managing your events, documents, and works can be organized and properly scheduled for proper storage of data and retrieval of the same. Software development companies in India have been using its resources and developing various applications for their Indian as well as overseas clients. Utilizing SharePoint resources are closely linked with developing applications services through SharePoint integration, migration, development and deployment, and customization. It is also necessary to focus on application architecture and design, post-implementation, audit, and optimization. Software development and training companies in India are working on this platform for overall efficiency of information system and faster return on investment (ROI).

Deployment of Resources

You can deploy a SharePoint solution to SharePoint severs through a solution package file. Visual studio can be used to organize the Project Items of the software to develop a Package for the deployment of the SharePoint features. Once you are okay with customizing package and features in Visual Studio, a .wsp file can be created for deploying SharePoint servers. Debugging and testing the file is possible only on the server on the development computer. SharePoint deployments of files in SharePoint solutions include all necessary files. Compilable files are built into the output assembly, whereas adding non-compilable files may also be necessary. Non-compilable files are not automatic parts of your SharePoint solution. Adding files to a SharePoint project item or a mapped folder ensure the packaging of the files.

The MOSS-SharePoint Migration

Migration from MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 is required for the possible upgrade of applications and resources to newer version. Moss 2007 to SharePoint 2010 migration upgrades 32 bits SharePoint 2007 to 64 bits SharePoint 2007, if required. A 64 bit MOSS server is created after that. Next, taking and restoring backup of a site collection is to be done. In the next step, it is necessary to ensure the way to handle customization. Further, it has to be ensured that SQL server version and Database backup version must be the same at both ends. Finally, the content database of MOSS 2007 can be migrated to SharePoint 2010.

SharePoint Deployments are now necessary for the technocrats



Information Technology- the term was alien even to most of the educated Indian people some years back. But within a brief span of time this very term has gained immense popularity. Especially after the economic liberation policy of 1991, there was an IT boom in the Indian economy. According to the recent studies, the lion’s share of the revenue of the Indian Government is earned today from the service sector whose greatest slice is occupied by the companies based on software and information technology. And whenever this context comes, nobody can ignore the sphere of SharePoint Deployments

What is SharePoint?

It is nothing but a web application platform invented and developed by Microsoft. In the year of 2001, it was launched in the market. Basically it is a host of web applications under a common technical infrastructure. Like the other web based applications developed by Microsoft, it is also very user friendly therefore very handy even to the non technical people.

Why is it necessary?

Share Point is actually an umbrella platform to serve multifold purposes. The magic of SharePoint resources lies in the fact that it can offer the maximum usefulness in most cost effective ways. The modern software companies are indeed enthusiastic in its proper deployment as this web application platform is a mastermind in content management, document management, providing intranet portals, social networks, file and document management and much more.

While deploying the resources of Microsoft Share Point, the developers must be well aware of the several compliances, integration and standards of it. As for example, we can say about MOSS 2007(Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007) which is an integration of Share Point with Microsoft office 2007. We can also say about Share Point Designer, and Share Point foundation server 2010.

The present scenario in India…….

According to the latest surveys on the growth of the software business in India, the use of Share Point application in the relevant sectors is growing by 3.6% on an average almost every year. Especially the companies based on SharePoint in Delhi or Gurgaon have basically set an example in diversified use of Share Point platforms.

Based on outsourcing……..

But at the same time it has also to be kept in mind that with the passage of time the software companies have become familiar with the outsourcing. Chiefly the offshore clients of Europe and America are trying to pass on the jobs to the developing countries like India as efficient manpower is available there in affordable cost.
