Implementing SharePoint Intranet for a Law Firm
The Project
A prominent global law firm with over 600 lawyers in 15 offices utilized Microsoft SharePoint. They used it across the organization for its various business needs. However, the firm was experiencing critical problems with its SharePoint infrastructure. For example, its user profile synchronization, search, and Shared Services Provider were not operating correctly. Overall, they were looking for SharePoint consulting.
To start, although the firm was engaged with another Microsoft SharePoint consulting vendor, the firm sought to move forward with a different consulting expert. In other words, they were looking for a consultant that could provide the needed support and efficient consulting. In addition, the firm wanted to establish a strong relationship with the vendor. Overall, the firm sought to resolve the issues and engage with a Microsoft SharePoint vendor immediately. As a result, they contacted Aciron Consulting to provide the needed SharePoint consulting services.
Our Approach
First, Aciron analyzed the firm’s specific needs and problems, investigated the SharePoint infrastructure and identified issues. Then, Aciron quickly identified the most suitable solutions to the problems. Aciron started a discovery and analysis phase, where we analyzed the client’s specific challenges and requirements and investigated the state of its SharePoint platform.
Further, we conducted meetings and interviews with the client’s key project stakeholders. So, this let us understand the firm’s SharePoint and its specific requirements, pain points, and workflows. Then, we performed a thorough assessment of the firm’s SharePoint infrastructure to determine the causes and best solutions. As these problems significantly impacted the firm’s employees’ intranet use, Aciron worked quickly to resolve the issues. Thus, enabling the firm’s personnel to use the firm’s SharePoint system in accordance with its full capabilities.
However, Aciron and the client continuously communicated with each other through regular status reports and meetings. Therefore, providing open communication to ensure project milestones were met on time and within budget.
The Solution
Aciron worked with key stakeholders to thoroughly analyze their SharePoint issues. Aciron developed effective strategies for resolving the problems with the client’s user profile synchronization, search, and Shared Services Provider.
Afterward, Aciron implemented effective solutions tailored to the law firm’s unique business, user, and system requirements. Using best practices, Aciron positioned the organization to optimize its use of its SharePoint platform. In addition, to automate its various business processes within the firm.
In conclusion, Aciron helped the firm migrate its SharePoint intranet with custom workflows. Also, Aciron managed existing and new extranets that the law firm uses to collaborate with their clients. Since the successful initial engagement, Aciron has become a trusted SharePoint consulting vendor for the firm. Likewise, we continue to work closely with the client and provide regular Microsoft SharePoint consulting services.
