Key Client Challenges 

• Finding and connecting expertise – Difficulty in making real-time connections with experts inhibits value delivery and slows decision making. Professional turnover and an aging workforce can make finding the right resource even more difficult.
• Rapidly construct proposals, pitch books, and other standard marketing responses.
• Too much information, not enough context – It’s hard to find relevant case information without reliable sources, duplication and content silos. Lawyers may make better use of information when the information is organized effectively.
• Common insights – Geographic distances and conflicting taxonomies impede collaboration between teams and across organizations. For example, in construction, a “Framed Roof” in one part of an organization may mean “Rafters” in another part of the organization.
• Secure information sharing – Content leakage and ineffective retention poses a risk for the firm. Content needs to be protected as records with flexible compliance tools to handle multiple schemes for retention, disposition, and legal holds.

Our Solution 

• SharePoint 2019 was chosen as the platform to help build the collaboration environment, integrated with Microsoft Lync 2010 and Office 2010
• SharePoint 2019, Office 2010 and Open XML was chosen to automate the creation of proposals, pitch books, and other standard marketing responses as well as share documents within the authoring environment.
• Configured SharePoint 2019 social collaboration tools such as personal sites, team sites, newsfeeds, wiki sites, forums, and blogs to promote employee “social” collaboration as well as promote “expert” connections.
• SharePoint 2019 Enterprise Search to improve the ability to find relevant content and experts including support for Document preview, Federated search and People Search
