Flash Research Paper: Microsoft SharePoint

Flash Research Paper: SharePoint

            Microsoft SharePoint drastically increases efficiency of our organization by increasing each PMP’s billable hours by 400.  SharePoint enables our PMPs to collaborate about any documents pertaining to our clients across a single platform while providing several different kinds of programs.  This technology provides our business with an easy and cost effective way to increase revenue by $2,646,000 over a 3-year span.

This web-based framework, if implemented, provides us with a secure, efficient method for our business to store, organize, share, update and access information from almost any device (What Is SharePoint?).  SharePoint is capable of keeping track of different versions of documents, which allows us to monitor our digital records simply by logging into SharePoint (Junk).  This technology can be accessed by individuals inside and outside of our organization, which allows for exceptionally efficient communication and collaboration between our PMPs and our clients. This technology allows our organization to simplify how we work together.

SharePoint not only provides us with technological advantages, it is also affordable and could lead to increase in net benefits of $1,846,250 over a three-year span.  Implementing SharePoint allows each PMP to increase their billable hours from 1,500/year to 1,900/year, which generates an increase in benefits of $2,000,250 over a 3-year period.  Initial cost of investment, plus annual hardware/software maintenance equal total costs of $154,000.  This technology provides our business with a solution that is necessary in order to eliminate our backload of work.  This increase in productivity, and investment in technology, can lead to a tangible benefit that is directly related to increased billable hours.By doing this, we can better provide for our clients and adjust with our changing demand.
