MIGRATE FROM SHAREPOINT 2003
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ME?
You're ready to make the move to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 - now where should you start? Since SharePoint 2003 was released, Microsoft has made significant changes to the platform. Concept has the processes required to connect the features already in place within the enhanced 2007 world. Tactical Delivery effort begins with assessing the complexity of SharePoint Portal Server 2003 assets to determine a phased delivery path. Next, Concept partners with your organization to define the migration plan, and any phased timeline requirements based on application use assessments and the existing customization code base. Paired with knowledge transfer, quality control is the final step of the delivery, ensuring overall long-term success.

MIGRATE CUSTOM APPLICATIONS
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ME?
For most organizations, the niche requirements have formed the need to purchase or custom build disconnected systems based on proprietary or non-supported systems. We all understand the value of a connected platform, but the complexity of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is sometimes underestimated. Concept works to evaluate and migrate custom applications into the enterprise vision to better connect information and people. Strategic Development effort catalogues applications where information needs to be readily shared between systems and people in a transparent fashion. The impact on business and organizational goals are assessed to identify and evaluate readiness mapping for SharePoint 2007's features.		TARGET AUDIENCE CIOs, CTOs, Divisional Leaders, IT Managers THE APPROACH PART 1 Review Scope and Phased Plan PART 2 Customization Assessment PART 3 Co-existence Assessment (optional) PART 4 Physical Deployment PART 5 Quality Assurance and Transfer

KEY OUTCOMES:

Application Assessment and Evaluation

Evaluated on a wide variety of customer defined metrics including (but not limited to) business value, complexity, stability and enterprise fit.

Feature Mapping

Each application feature aspect is mapped against an existing SharePoint feature matrix, thereby identifying any custom requirements and further defining the effort required to move to the SOA platform.

MOSS 2007 Application Delivery

The key strategy of application delivery is to build composite applications utilizing foundational services available within SharePoint resulting in improved profitability and productivity.

COHABITATE PORTAL PLATFORMS
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO ME?
For large enterprise businesses, making a global shift from one standard platform to another requires a phased journey and is not an overnight installation. Cohabitation helps to maximize the existing investments and positions MOSS 2007 for improved user experiences. With experience from over 12 years of information management, Concept has the intimate knowledge needed to satisfy the most complex strategic and tactical approaches of cohabitation. Cohabitation Strategy and Deployment assists with the "big picture" approach to information management systems and puts it into action. Cohabitation solutions can range from document management, data surfacing and search, bringing one or more systems into the same point. Concept starts by helping to uncover the correct approach using customer-defined metrics and weighting to ensure successful outcomes. For future development, Concept leaves many doors open to ensure ease of scalability and full content migration.
