Professional Services is an area which uses many of the key features of SharePoint; collaboration, workflow and file sharing, but is in the area of projects and project management which our solutions offer the greatest improvements to conventional working practices in this sector.

Any authorised user can create a workspace on the fly allowing the capture of timesheets, the sharing of relevant documents and the incorporation of discussion forums - all using templates which best reflect your organisation's corporate image. You can save your emails, Word documents, pdfs, spreadsheets, CAD/CAM files into the shared workspace so your colleagues can access, share, update and save the files along with full version control. The system can categorise your documents into a single, corporate structure which allows them to be found by every user. Using software such as ConceptSearching further enhances the experience; here the files can be spidered and classified so searching becomes a breeze - even when you have to deal with complex categories and subjects specific to your particular speciality.

Here at Ratio One, we keep all our clients on a SharePoint intranet. Uses set up the site and then invite other members of staff onboard as authorised users, the system emails everyone with the site url which then allows everyone to both read and contribute to the site. Meetings and discussions are arranged using the site and links on your own 'MySite' can be added to further personalise the system. The site can then be accessesd from any computer with an internet connection.
