Challenges
A 2007 SharePoint farm that was out of control, had a great deal of third-party experimental software installed, and needed migration to 2010. The size of the databases and the complexity of third-party solutions cannot be overstated. Their SharePoint administrator, Eric Wells, was instrumental in providing huge patience and cooperation to see this project through to its successful conclusion.
What We Did
We built a robust three-tier farms for development and production with clustered backend SQL.
In addition to the SharePoint upgrade, a large component was building an internal project management system that would allow non-project managers a friendly environment to manage less formal projects. We acquired Bamboo Solutions project central and customized it.
After a series of months of testing, it was determined that it would not have the flexibility to meet the medical center's anticipated needs. We then rebuilt this project management solution using more à la carte Bamboo Solutions components for a much more customized PPM app.
