Improve productivity and process efficiency across Your Organization with SharePoint and line-of-business data
Business Challenges
Information Gap Between Teams

Does your company run several line- of-business (LOB) systems, each serving a different department? Are there data gaps across different functions (e.g. Sales, Engineering, etc.), that are impacting the company’s overall performance?

Many companies face such challenges on a daily basis due to the complexity and cost associated with connecting the backend systems used by these different departments (CRM, ERP, PLM, etc.); oftentimes, the result is slower decision-making that is based on partial information and business processes that do not include all relevant stakeholders across the company.



The Solution

Many companies already have SharePoint in place but are not using it to their full advantage. Companies can improve decision-making processes, productivity, and return on investment (ROI) by connecting SharePoint with their existing LOB systems and have SharePoint serve as the org-wide platform for collaboration and workflow-centric business processes, while utilizing the business data from the LOB systems.

"We have created a business-critical solution for our order allocation process that reduces end user effort by 86% on average.”

Benefits
Visibility Into Core Business Processes

By surfacing important business data using a collaboration platform that everyone knows how to use, you can bring teams together by driving visibility around key business drivers.

Making sure the right users have access to the right information at the right time accelerates business practices, improves company processes and enhances productivity, therefore improving your bottom line.

In many cases, the enhanced transparency that results enables companies to reduce business risk by identifying business challenges earlier and by having the collaboration platform that facilitates information sharing and team work.

“With the automation via SharePoint, cycle time has been reduced from 6.5 days to 48 hours."
