Managed Microsoft Sharepoint - AT&T

Product Brief
SharePoint Services
For Better Workplace Efficiency, Call on AT&T to Implement,
Host and Manage Microsoft ® SharePoint ®
Information is power…but only if you can find it
and share it. Unfortunately, in many companies,
employees strain to find the information they
need, and work teams struggle to collaborate
with the tools they have.
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007
provides relief with enterprise tools for
information management, collaboration
and automation. AT&T Hosting & Application
Services can implement, host and manage
SharePoint cost-effectively, allowing you to:
• Create SharePoint sites for managing,
sharing and publishing content
• Search for people, documents and data
• Expedite forms-driven business processes
• Access and analyze business data
AT&T: A Full-Service IT Resource
Although Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
2007 makes work easier for the organization
as a whole, IT departments are left with the
“heavy lifting” of installing, customizing and
maintaining SharePoint every day. It’s a big job,
even for those who have experience working
with SharePoint. And few do.
To relieve your IT staff from having to cope
with a brand new environment, AT&T works as
an extension of your staff to:
• Migrate your system from other
collaboration platforms
• Develop custom applications within
SharePoint
• Install or upgrade SharePoint
• Host the software while providing
continuous monitoring and maintenance
Choose any combination of services that meets
your needs. You can ask us to get the software
up and running to your specifications, to host
and manage your software using our hardware
and IT staff, or both.
AT&T is a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner –
the highest level of competence in Microsoft
technologies – with Competency in Custom
Development Solutions (Web Development
specialization).
The High-Performance Workplace

retrieved and shared, SharePoint helps people

records and web content in one central
