Sandals includes some of travel's most visible brands including Sandals Resorts and Beaches. For the last 30 years, Sandals has been synonymous with high quality vacations and brilliant innovation.
The Challenge
Due to the nature of their widespread organization, having efficient methods of data management is imperative. Using the SharePoint platform allows Sandals to store data, collaborate on it and keep things organized and easily accessible. With thousands of users, a database originally built in 2003, and complex systems, Sandals wanted to ensure that their tools were fully integrated into the business and current organizational goals. SimpleSharepoint was engaged to help Sandals transition with a new SharePoint farm, and begin to move away from file shares without disruption.
What We Did
We installed a SharePoint three-tier farm, built a project management app, built a portal "Sandals 360" and customized it to meet their organizational goals while providing technical guidance for design and training for roll-out. The Application Services Team at SimpleSharepoint sent weekly updates to Sandals, keeping them informed of progress and next steps throughout the project.
