Hello everyone,

Welcome to the Third edition of Progress.

We had completed the 1st quarter of this year, this quarter was

pretty well and can also see that we had almost covered the

journey of transformation. Progressive's design & transformation

solutions enable organizations to establish a flexible and scalable

infrastructure without compromising on cost benefits.

With rapidly changing technologies & exponentially increasing

business demands for IT are constantly generating need of a

highly dependable, robust & scalable data center support. A

reliable data center add value to existing IT infrastructure, keeping

business up & running.Increasing support cost including multiple

facilities and wide range of server, over burdening organizations

with rising energy bills & floor space requirements.

Being a prominent ICT player, we understand the importance of

being updated. Towards this, Progress is our initiative. Going

through progress in every month is a stirring experience and hope

you will feel the same way reading our magazine.

Wish you all great achievements in our lives.

Let's progress with Progress.

Sharepoint is a browser-based platform from Microsoft that allows for

easier, timely and effective documents management. In many cases, it

can be used to facilitate business collaboration between an enterprise

and the web. Once used in a business, it comes along with several

benefits that every person going to use it will enjoy because it allows

the user to gain access to a lot of information.

Using sharepoint as a business platform in an organization promotes

collaboration among employees. This is because work reports are easy

to prepare and present at any company meeting. What is Sharepoint

furthermore enhance communication within an organization if

appropriately used. There is no need for a person to walk around the

company offices passing messages to specific individuals since that is

centrally managed using sharepoint. Information is equally available to

the intended person at the right time and there are no cases of delay or

distortion. The recipient receives his message in its original form and on

time which enables him to send a reply if any. Every employee is

accorded specific privileges as per their needs thus everybody gains

access to information that is helpful to him only. Employees will only

handle what is theirs, supervisors deal with what concerns them and

any other person in an organization will follow the cue.

What is sharepoint?

For what Organizations are lookingahead?

How is SharePoint helping Organizations?

Workflow Management

Benefits of Workflow Management

Companies have found large gains in the use of SharePoint to address

specific business problems with measurable results. For many

organizations looking to tackle their data management once and for all,

there seem to be only a few possible options. One of the solutions is a fully

customized data server, but while this can be a great solution, it's reserved

only for those who have immense amounts of money to burn -- both on

development and consistent IT costs. On the other hand we have pre-

constructed knowledge management systems that have such a rigid

framework that the service only meets the least specific needs of the

company. We can customize web parts specifically to the requirements of

your company, helping the already versatile SharePoint platform hug to

the contours of your company's unique structure.

SharePoint services allow your employees to work together, sharing

relevant information and business data. These services work as a tool,

facilitating collaboration among team members and individuals.

SharePoint servers facilitate content management features, are helpful in

implementing business processes and allow your employees to access

essential information which is important for organizational goals.

Workflow management is a heart of business process because without

a suitable workflow management a business cannot grow. Before 10

years ago no one uses this strong concept in their business. Today each

business first makes strategies for their workflow process than they

start their process to implement in business. Business Process

Management (BPM) is quite similar to this but both are different. Both

have different meaning in the business and also implemented in

different way.

• Keep content processing in motion by notifying responsible users

and/or groups at each stage of the workflow• Monitor workflow activities in your enterprise with real-time graphical

reports• Design human- and system-based processes and integrate them with

existing applications(including iManage WorkSite)• Help users comply with COBIT, ITIL, SOX, HIPAA and other

requirements

Benefits of Document ManagementOrganize Our systems help you organize your document filing and

storage as well as each document's lifecycle. They provide

a secure centralized storage location for all your

documents (in a library) while at the same time

allowing you to store legal matter- or project-

related document together (in workspaces).

Our systems automatically tag document

according to their nature, such as

correspondence, invoices or technical

documents, based on a flexible design

tailored for your organization.

Through the use of flexible

security schemes, our document

management systems enable you to

better govern your document and their

lifecycle.

With centralized content and flexible

security options, ossur systems allow you to safely share your work

product within and outside your organization, enabling collaboration

between all stakeholders in the document's lifecycle.

Part of an Enterprise Content Management System—along with

document imaging, workflow and records management—, the

document management system is used to store, find, share, and track

electronic document. Most document management systems store

document and information about those documents, called metadata, to

promote search ability. They support versioning and provide security

options for access control.

Most project organization programs are designed for large projects with

lots of interworking parts. Small businesses often have the different, many

small projects and there is no way to organize diverse. Although Microsoft

SharePoint is not a good fit to manage a large project for a large company,

he does very well with small projects.

Collaboration

Case study

Problem

In a small company, each employee is proportionally much more

significant for the company, and is usually filled with multiple rolls. If the

employee leaves for any reason, the loss of their knowledge can be

overwhelming. Microsoft SharePoint is a way for people to share their

experience with the rest of the company.

SharePoint provides workspace where team members

could have discussions over documents, content, and can

collaboratively work on documents, etc.

Blogs are templates that allow you to do the following:- Publish timeline or event-based content- Share team or personal knowledge- Communicate events or action

Discussion boards are very similar to blog, though

the provide additional functionality, where unlike a blog, one can only

comment to the author's post, in a discussion board, people can

comment to each other's comments as well.

Wikis are very popular collaboration tool, where a group of

users can simultaneously edit a document, which allows for a great

mechanism for people to co-author content without having to worry

about check-in, check-out capabilities. They are used for:

– Team collaboration and communication

– Capture of raw or in-process knowledge

– The capability to gather community review

Fresenius Kabi is the leader in infusion therapy and clinical nutrition in
