Challenge

To develop a corporate intranet portal for publishing news, events and notifications. The portal was to function as information center, where the links to the external resources of the organization were systemized. This systematization was to solve the existing problems in communication. Also the portal was to function as a search system with the search of packages and bottles according to the external data sources.

Solution

To develop the portal MS SharePoint 2010 Server was chosen as a platform. This platform was used as a repository for storing different sorts of information (news, events, calendar, notifications) and related meta data. Also by means of SharePoint portal users access rights were distributed and a search in inner site content arranged.

On the presentation level we decided to combine SharePoint with ASP.NET MVC 2.0 to take all advantages of such architectural solutions as ASP.NET MVC 2.0. Such approach made it possible to unify processing different client queries.

Design of the portal, its pages and their internal logics were developed based on the Web 2.0 principles which made the portal more interactive and user-friendly.

Finally to arrange the search system by external data sources such SharePoint services as Business Data Connectivity Services (BDCS) and Search Service Application (SSA) were used. BDCS service was used to implement connector to the external databases and extrac required information from there. SSA service was used for data analysis with the help of crawling mechanism and creating index file. According to index file the data search was further carried out. Search engine was implemented in the additional abstraction layer, which was an add-in over Query Engine enabling good performance and efficiency of search.

Joint work of customers and our team based on the Agile methodology resulted in successful project completion and further integration in manufacturing usage.

Challenge

The portal is intended to serve the goal of generating the reports created on the basis of various consolidated data from different sources.

Solution

To develop this portal WSS 3.0 was chosen as a platform. This platform was used to store various types of information (master-data/templates necessary for reports creation). Also access rights of the portal users and internal site search were managed with the help of SharePoint tools.

Reports creation goes in synchronized work flows with possibility of reports quality and priorities customization and setup.

Input data for the application are excel-files which are added to the files library and pass obligatory automatic content checkup.

The main goal of the project was successfully reached - time for reports generation and server resources usage was decreased so the reports generation productivity increased a lot.
