By using SharePoint to manage our PMPs’ documents our company can realize a net benefit $1,846,250 in three years. SharePoint is a platform made by Microsoft that will make collaboration more efficient. Investing in SharePoint also will increase each PMP’s billable hours by 400 hours per year which would alleviate the backlog of work.
SharePoint is a collaborative platform made by Microsoft. It allows the user to collaborate more efficiently by storing any data related to a project on their server. This is useful for project managers because many employees can access necessary information or documents. From there the user can decide who can see each document and edit it and what rules those who have access to it must follow. SharePoint will make the work more manageable for our PMPs because they will no longer have to manage their documents, and collaboration is now more effective because the user will be able to see when a document has been updated.
After investing in SharePoint the company will realize a benefit of $2,100,000 in three years because each of our 10 PMPs will be adding on 400 billable hours to their year of work. The three year cost of SharePoint would be $253,750 due to the hardware cost, maintenance, and loss of ten percent of the SharePoint specialist’s hours. The net benefit of using SharePoint after three years will be $1,846,250.
