What do you
think of
when you
hear the
word
SharePoint?
Usually the
answer to
this
question is:
Collaboration.
Which is
correct!
However,
SharePoint
is so much
more than a
group/team
of people
collaborating
on their
intranet.
You can also
expose your
line of
business
application
data in
SharePoint.
Here's a
Common
Scenario
A business
currently
has a
home-grown
system that
they use.
The
interface
has gotten
outdated,
but the
information
interfaced
is still
valuable to
the
organization
and its
employees.
All the data
is stored in
databases
(either SQL,
Oracle, DB2
etc.). The
question now
is whether
to build
another home
grown system
from
scratch?
A Possible
Solution
Use
SharePoint
as it was
meant to be
used -
serving as
the main
presentation
layer that
interfaces
data from
various
sources in
the
organization.
Office
workers
don't have
to remember
which
application
to use for
which
purpose.
SharePoint
is a one
stop shop
for your end
users by
presenting
and
interfacing
all line of
business
application
data (such
as SAP,
Siebel,
custom
databases). |
