The Financial Services sector has its own special requirements which have to be addressed with any adopted system. Where the the processing of money is concerned, clients have to be reassured that any systems they use can be relied on to be accurate and protected.

SharePoint uses SQL Server for its database and the strength and reliability of the system is key to our projects in this area. Our involvement with customers have allowed investors for instance to view their portfolio details live and online with complete confidence. Another example in our case studies file allowed the document sharing and workflow of a complex process control across a large number of UK sites - again with sensitive and personal data. The reporting and analysis of that data as far as all legal requirements are concerned are built-in
In addition to its reliability SQL Server incorporates a range of useful features providing analysis, reporting, integration, and notification - all of which are essential to most companies in this sector.

SharePoint 2007 also incorporates a range of database management and anaylis tools allowing users to view data across a variety of databases, so when you want to view live data on the fly from a variety of sources through a browser you can.
