February/2010
Good Morning,
 
I'm not sure about you but I have had my fill of snow for this winter.  With the record setting snows in the Mid Atlantic this year we have all been challenged with lost time, lost productivity and unforeseen delays caused by the weather this winter.  As a technology firm we take the necessary measures to make sure our people and clients are taken care of during these types of events.  Remote access solutions such as Terminal Server or Citrix, coupled with an IP Phone system helped us make sure our people stayed safe and were available to assist clients during this period.  If you have not implemented or evaluated these types of solutions I would highly recommend it.  They can add significant value to your organization by reducing overall cost of ownership, increasing productivity and during unforeseen events like we have had, they give your team the ability to stay connected and productive.

SharePoint Services and Business Portal
Are you using SharePoint Services? 
If not why?  Most of you already own the software but for many organizations they just don't understand what it can do.  We want to make sure you understand what SharePoint Services does for you and how Business Portal 4.0 for Dynamics GP works with this valuable tool.
 
SharePoint Services 3.0
As a built-in component of Windows Server 2003, Windows SharePoint Services makes it easy for IT departments to implement a dependable, scalable collaboration infrastructure with minimal administrative time and effort. Some of the key benefits include: 
  • Provide a single workspace for teams to coordinate schedules, organize documents, and participate in discussions-within the organization and over the extranet.
  • Easily author and manage documents, and help to ensure their integrity with enhanced features including the option to require document checkout before editing, the ability to view past revisions and restore to previous versions, and the ability to set document-specific security.
  • Help people and teams stay on task with a variety of communication features that let users know when actions are required or important changes are made to existing information or documentation, including announcements, sophisticated alerts, surveys, and discussion boards.
  • Provide creative forums for brainstorming ideas, building knowledge bases, or simply gathering information in an easy-to-edit format with new templates for implementing blogs (also known as weblogs) and wikis (Web sites that can be quickly edited by team members-no special technical knowledge required).
  • Stay productive while mobile with enhanced support for offline synchronization through Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 that users can use to manage document libraries, lists, calendars, contacts, tasks, and discussion boards even offline, and to synchronize changes when reconnected to the network.
