Daybreak Intellectual Capital Solutions, Inc., a provider of enterprise content management (ECM) software and consulting services, today announced the availability of a comprehensive suite of consulting and professional services for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS). Daybreak's new array of services provide solutions for users at all stages of their SharePoint engagement including initial assessments, business process analysis, implementation, content migration, and user training.

Current services include the following:

  • Site Assessment
    • This evaluation includes an analysis of the site's user interface, the technical infrastructure and design, and the policies and processes pertaining to the management of the content on the site.
  • Process Assessment
    • This assessment provides a comprehensive review of business processes and encompasses aspects such as a current process analysis, definition of business goals, suggested process improvements, and ROI analysis.
  • Foundations
    • Foundations is a strategic course offering that begins with an overview of content management principles to level the playing field for project team members and stakeholders, then moves into best practices and critical components for successful implementations. Foundations enables team members to effectively participate in the SharePoint design and implementation process. This course:
      • Discusses the elements that provide the power, create the flexibility, and deliver the ROI.
      • Covers how security is implemented within the system and answers a fundamental question: How is intellectual property both protected and leveraged?
      • Explores how business policies and processes can be integrated into the SharePoint system to manage day-to-day business activities.
      • Looks at the power and benefit of single-sourcing content in a production environment.
  • War Room Workshop
    • War Room is an intensive 2-4 week engagement wherein Daybreak's senior consultants work with your team to design a blueprint for SharePoint implementation. The workshop builds on the cornerstone concepts and strategies of enterprise content management presented in Foundations and plays an integral part in the overall design and implementation of the SharePoint solution.
  • SharePoint Implementation Services
    • Implementation services feature a phased approach and leverage Daybreak expertise and industry best practices. Solutions are tailored to each client's specific needs and projects typically include the elements listed below:
      • Kick-off: Identify the purpose, objectives, and high level requirements for the Portal
      • Requirements Gathering: Understand the client's detailed requirements (using Daybreak's War Room Workshop technique)
      • User Experience Design: Navigation, information architecture, and creative design
      • Technical Architecture: Develop the system's technical structure and interfaces
      • Implementation: Build the system using an agile, iterative approach
      • Validation: System, scalability, and end user testing, plus fine-tuning as needed
      • Training: Complete user and administrator training
      • Deployment: Go-Live for the system in the production environment
      • Support: Ongoing support to ensure a successful implementation
