Example Case Studies

WorkShares has gained a lot of experience of working with many well known organisations across the UK, from small businesses, start-ups, to larger enterprises; all of whom have had a common need to provide collaborative solutions for their staff, suppliers or clients alike.

We have provided a few case study samples of our work in amongst the below as examples of the scope and scale of work we are involved with and hope you find them useful.

2010

WorkShares provided both project management and SharePoint developer expertise to Thomson Reuters. We lead the development of an interactive global user community based content management application, for use in conjunction with Thomson Reuters market leading suite of news service offerings and its thousands of customers. 

Liaising with offshore development and QA resources, we helped scope, design, build and manage the introduction of the new application. This included regular application enhancements from an evolving set of business requirements.

Building on top off an existing global SharePoint infrastructure supporting many tens of thousands of users, our experience in design and developing within the enterprise SharePoint environment, was paramount in securing and delivering this work on time and to budget.

WorkShares provided SharePoint administrative resource to help maintain and provide support to an existing internally facing SharePoint 2007 environment at Soni. 

During this time we provided wider SharePoint architectural guidance and delivery expertise to help introduce a secure business application, delivered on to an enhanced multi-farm environment, which supports collaborating working for an externally facing internet presence environment. 

One to one mentoring and support for existing IT staff including ad-hoc training also took place.

 Appius SharePoint work



In early 2009 we provide ad-hoc SharePoint 2007 architecture, licensing and wider design guidance for the creation of an intranet and extranet portal.  The solution needed to provide access to sensitive corporate information from outside of the organisation, with trusted 3rd parties in a secure and robust manner but affordable manner.

Redweb SharePoint work





In late 2009, we were asked to review an existing disaster recovery configuration and associated documentation, before updating and testing the new recovery processes for a MOSS 2007 extranet and intranet farm deployment.

We then provided advice on wider best practice with patching, introducing new features, optimisation and end user support and adoption of SharePoint environments.

In the summer of 2009 we provided MOSS Architecture, design and configuration expertise to build a internal MOSS platform for testing custom client solutions and provide a base for the company Intranet “Bluepeople”.
