Wimbledon, London – 26 July 2010. i-Technosoft enters a niche market selling Hosted Microsoft SharePoint Services in EMEA. The objective is to assist SME’s to centralise, automate their processes and enable them to access business information anywhere, anytime thereby reducing paper, travel, hardware and licensing costs further enabling businesses to comply to ‘Go-Green’ Standards.

Many SME’s have been started to see the advantages of hosted applications such as Microsoft’s Windows SharePoint Services. Windows SharePoint Services enables businesses to consolidate their core documents, forms, work processes on a web based platform thereby eliminating a need for additional applications to be installed. Moreover, SharePoint offers comprehensive collaboration with team members enabling them to maintain records, infopath forms, electronic document versions that assists users to pull any given record in time. Small Business owners currently face a great challenge in managing, organising and accessing their data when required from any given location. This is virtually impossible for them as the costs of implementing such a solution and hosting it locally are very high especially in the Middle East.

What do SharePoint Services offer?
Centralised Document Libraries: Repositories for the users to store documents such as Office, Adobe PDF, HTML etc that a business may require to work and share effectively. This eliminates the need for Shared Drives and Files in Windows.

Collaboration and Meetings: Shared Calendars in Windows SharePoint Services can assist employees in an organisation to manage their events, meetings on a daily basis. The calendar and to-do tasks can then be synchronised to Microsoft Outlook to enable individual alerting and offline availability.
Announcements: Corporate/Divisional announcements can now be viewed by employees on each section accordingly. This helps the information to pass through all or appropriate individuals everytime there is an update without having to send memos and emails.
