Microsoft SharePoint

Business Mechanix have extensive experience in Microsoft SharePoint. We are a Microsoft gold partner and many of our technicians are Microsoft SharePoint certified and qualified. We have the experience at all levels of SharePoint from implementations to customisations both large and small. We have looked at security structures, provided training to both end users and IT staff, completed upgrades and Migrations from SharePoint on premise to SharePoint online. This is just an example of our range of services we offer from our SharePoint portfolio. We have also used it as a platform to build intranets why? Because it gives you flexibility, stability and a simple user interface.

Microsoft SharePoint has a huge array of services businesses can use it for, including document management, wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, collaboration pages, project pages, mySites (personal or group internet sites) and much more! It’s the new way to work together. A simplified user experience helps you organize, sync, and share all your content. New social capabilities make it easy to share ideas, keep track of what your colleagues are working on, and discover experts you never knew existed.

Our Experience

Examples of some of our SharePoint work has included The University of Waikato where we developed a tool (UDM tool) to improve User Account Management processes. We customised and extended SharePoint User Profile Services to synchronise user profile between Active Directory (AD) and other databases like HR DB and phone book DB. We developed user interface and workflows (based on SharePoint 2013) to let people to manage, update, approve and auditing user profiles.

We implemented a staff intranet for Wintec in SharePoint 2010. The portal included team sites for each business unit and a personal MySite for all the users. Various systems where incorporated into the intranet including OSH accident forms, staff events, and vehicle bookings. Since the intranet was search centric FAST search server was used to provide comprehensive search results across the portal and help avoid confusing navigation. 

We have worked with Laidlaw where we implemented their SharePoint 2010 for their staff intranet. We also migrated Waiariki from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010.Whitereia contracted Business Mechanix to implement a Password Changing Portal which was based on SharePoint 2010 so that it could integrate easily with website which also uses SharePoint 

Our own product PARiS which is an executive risk management and project system is also based on SharePoint which uses standard SharePoint lists, customised forms and an event receiver. 

We have also worked with New Zealand’s Biggest Early Childhood Centre Kindercare where we have looked at their security structure around SharePoint online and completed training with Staff as part of Office 365.
