New Service Provides 3-Day Comprehensive Review of SharePoint Installations by SharePoint Expert Consultants
Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) June 8, 2009 -- SharePointHQ, a leading provider of training, professional services, hosting, web parts and solutions for Microsoft® SharePoint®, announced today the release of its SharePoint Installation Audit and Diagnostic service for both Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. The new service will benefit small to medium-sized companies who require their SharePoint installations to be reviewed and authenticated by SharePoint professionals.
Company SharePoint sites are audited over a 3 day period, during which SharePoint expert consultants verify that SharePoint has been installed correctly and according to SharePoint best practices. In particular, SharePoint site security is tested, integration of third-party solutions and tools is certified and the backup and disaster recovery configuration is inspected. At the end of the assessment, audited companies receive a 40-page report containing the audit results, a list of site issues identified through troubleshooting, and recommendations for implementing site changes and corrections.
"In our consulting practice we've come across more than a few improperly installed SharePoint sites. Whether it was installations performed by inexperienced IT firms or in-house SharePoint installations gone awry, there are a lot improperly installed SharePoint portals in use today. The result is that firms are left with an expensive file share, causing them to miss out on the benefits of SharePoint to their company," said Hans Leuschner, Vice President SharePointHQ. "Our audit allows us to come in, identify site issues and ultimately allow companies to unlock the true value of SharePoint. The end result is that these companies gain from our experience, recoup their initial investment in SharePoint and are left with a SharePoint site they can start to collaborate with and build upon."
The SharePoint Installation Audit and Diagnostic is eligible for Microsoft Software Assurance. Microsoft Software Assurance vouchers may be applied to the audit to help mitigate the overall cost of the review.
