Application Infrastructure

Challenge

Businesses share and manage mountains of information. Many have turned to Microsoft's Team Foundation Services (TFS), SQL Server, IIS, Project Server and SharePoint as part of their collaboration / application infrastructure for storing, organizing and distributing essential enterprise content, documents and data. These technologies are being utilized for application lifecycle management, database / web server infrastructure & maintenance, enterprise project management and collaboration / information management. Such ubiquitous usage can often lead to many challenges for IT organizations, and InfraScience understands how this can greatly impact your organizational culture. Through our Collaboration / Application Infrastructure Practice services, InfraScience ensures a positive impact.

If you require a collaborative platform for workflow, document management, information sharing, project management, or even a development platform for your business applications, then you surely need to carefully plan the supporting application infrastructure and management process for the enterprise. Whether you’re upgrading an existing implementation or doing a new deployment, the foundational components need to be solid. With limited resources and growing project lists, how do corporate business and IT managers deliver and maintain secure, compliant, efficient and productive technical services?

“We could not have implemented SharePoint without the leadership and guidance of InfraScience…  InfraScience provided initial SharePoint Kick Start Training Sessions to small groups to give them hands-on experience with SharePoint.  InfraScience also provided customized Quick Reference Guides.  Medicaid users have taken to SharePoint so well that we are in the process of coordinating advanced user training with AUM for 48 Agency staff that will serve as SharePoint subject matter experts for their area and the Agency.”

“It is all too often that I see the casual SharePoint imple- mentation become critical to an organization.   It’s at that point, that our clients have to go back and fit it in to backup / recovery, high availability, secure remote access, information security policies, and application lifecycle management processes.   InfraScience understands that this can be a painful undertaking and we believe that our experience and knowledge can translate so as to ease that burden for our clients.”
