Challenges of SharePoint Development

More and more responsibility for developing business applications is falling on departmental level staff as organizations seek to cut IT costs. SharePoint makes it possible to develop sophisticated solutions with little-or-no custom code.

But let's face it, SharePoint is a complicated product. That complexity makes it hard to hire, train, and retain skilled staff who understand the platform. Corporate IT and department level staff shouldn't be expected to be SharePoint experts. So often, they have to settle for solutions that are just good enough to get the job done – and when outside help is sought, they have to pick their battles carefully.

All this creates challenges for SharePoint consultants too. Small budgets lead to small project timescales. Development projects that once took over a year are now possible with SharePoint in just a few months – or even weeks. Being able to deliver results under these demanding conditions requires more creative approaches than traditional enterprise software developers and consultants are used to. In fact, many established SharePoint consulting practices will not even consider quoting a project for less than $25,000 due to the time and expense required just to scope out the work and write a proposal.

Our Answer: Solution Jump Start

Many small to mid-sized businesses have a strong need for the features and benefits SharePoint development can provide, but don't have the resources to hire large teams of SharePoint experts for extended periods of time. That's why we've put together a set of packages you can use, wherever you have needs that go beyond day-to-day ad hoc support needs but are simple and short enough that they don't require more elaborate project management methods.
