Integration

Most companies managed to get their Business Applications (ERP; CRM; …) under control after high investments and large efforts. They may now be confused on how to position this system against new upcoming platforms like MS SharePoint 2007.

MS SharePoint 2007 provides Portal technology, Collaborative Workspaces, Document Management and Web Content Management. All these new concepts are situated in the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) area.

Business Applications versus MS SharePoint 2007

Only about 20 % of the information in your business processes is structured, the remaining 80 % is unstructured (letters, e-mails, documents,...). Your Business Application system is designed to manage the structured information; with platforms like MS SharePoint 2007 it is easy to manage the unstructured information. The unstructured information is most valuable when it is directly accessible in its related (structured) context. This is only possible when both systems are integrated.

10 reasons to integrate MS SharePoint with your Business Application

To bring application information to other user groups (E.g. to ERP data consumers and contributors that are no ERP users and have been working until now with paper documents or MS Excel based reports/input forms)
To work in role based portals via SharePoint rather than process oriented via the Business Application (E.g. Customer / Product / Sales / Purchase / Project / … - Portals)
To insert & update application data via user friendly SharePoint screens
To tag your documents with business application data
To use SharePoint workflows based on business application data
To extend business processes beyond the Business Application (E.g. to involve suppliers or customers in your process flow and approve or confirm via the Extranet)
To use tools like MS Excel and SharePoint KPIs to create dashboards based on business application data
To include business application information in your SharePoint Search
To keep your business logic in the business application and avoid reprogramming in the Portal
To build custom web applications using your business application data (E.g. CRM / HR / ContractManagement / Project Management / … - applications)
