Microsoft SharePoint

Sharepoint 2010

In July 2010 Tricostar started an extensive review of Microsoft SharePoint 2010 to review its capabilities in conjunction with the Timebase product set.

Following the review Tricostar then shared the strategic direction it is taking with Microsoft SharePoint with a number of its major clients who confirmed that this also was a direction they wished to take.

Currently Tricostar's development direction is to encourage the cost effective focus on cloud computing with its clients and as this ties in with Microsoft's ethos we will be utilising SharePoint technology and its associated development environment to further enhance:-

• The presentation layers of Timebase.
• The increased functionality of web technology e.g. where Microsoft have improved their integration of their Office products in a web development environment.
• Document management tightly integrated with the Office product suite.
• The use of 64 bit technology.
• Improved scalability - scale up to vastly increased numbers of concurrent users.
• Additional layer of security which is completely integrated with Microsoft Active Directory technology.

The first phase as described in the diagram below is now under way and the first module (Complaints Management) will be available Spring 2011.

Successive module development will lead to the final product suite as illustrated below by early 2012.
