Our SharePoint mantra is “features drive adoption” – if you want to maximize the return on your SharePoint investment, then SharePoint has to be compelling. This means that your SharePoint implementation can’t just be document libraries and calendars – your users can get this from a shared drive and Outlook. The trick to getting a successful SharePoint implementation under your belt is providing great value-added features that add to underlying SharePoint capabilities and provide the additional capabilities that users need – while not breaking the bank.

Because SharePoint is such a great platform that provides many components of typical applications within itself, applications are not built like a typical custom software development approach dictates. This is where Logan succeeds and others fail – we have a unique software development methodology that applies specifically to building small applications on SharePoint. This enables us to quickly assemble components of an application, customize them to provide added business value, and be able to test and deploy these small applications cleanly and precisely on existing SharePoint implementations.

We use common Microsoft tools like SQL Server Reporting Services, Office InfoPath 2007, and SharePoint Business Data Catalyst and Excel Services, along with best-in-breed third party components such as Bamboo and Dundas to rapidly assembly common solutions such as:

·         Form or document workflow, such as contract management or purchase request approval and routing systems

·         Business Intelligence dashboards, including key performance indicators, reports, and other key data elements used to drive decisions or as discussion content for meetings

·         Line-of-business application integration services, such as order inquiry from an ERP system for a specific customer
