Innovative-e Is Named a Business-Critical SharePoint Partner

ATLANTA, GA, December 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Innovative-e, Inc., a business consulting and technology solutions company that helps enterprise clients turn project management chaos into success, is named a Business-Critical SharePoint (BCSP) Partner. The BCSP initiative recognizes a small number of Microsoft Partners whose use of SharePoint helps bring real business value to organizations through advanced workflow automation, business intelligence reporting/dashboarding, and other capabilities that enable business-critical solutions.

The Business-Critical SharePoint partner program is focused on expanding the market for building and delivering business-critical solutions by connecting line-of-business (LOB) systems with SharePoint. The program consists of leading Microsoft partners worldwide, both systems integrators (SIs) and independent software vendors (ISVs), who provide the technology and the business expertise required to help customers surface line-of-business data in SharePoint, implement efficient business processes across the organization, and drive cross-team collaboration.

For customers, Business-Critical SharePoint (BCSP), is an approach that bridges the gap between SharePoint and LOB systems (CRM, ERP, PLM and more), and makes it possible to utilize information from siloed backend systems to drive more efficient business processes across organizations. BCSP partners enable efficient companies to streamline their core business processes while leveraging their existing IT investments and aligning them with their business objectives. This is achieved by surfacing LOB data in SharePoint and driving adoption and usage across the organization by utilizing the flexible and easy-to-use SharePoint user interface, in addition to leveraging SharePoint extensibility as a robust application platform. Implementing the BCSP approach results in more efficient cross-team business processes, higher levels of adoption among business users, and a higher ROI on IT investments overall.

In addition to being a Business-Critical SharePoint Partner, Innovative-e is also the developer of the concept "Project Management On Your Terms." "Project Management On Your Terms" is designed to help enterprise companies apply just enough process and organizational change to achieve meaningful project management results with the least amount of disruption. "Project Management On Your Terms" seeks to maximize value with the least disruption to an organization using three key steps:

• Collaborate - Get people working efficiently together instead of in silos
• Manage - Manage work proactively instead of reactively
• Win - Build on enthusiasm over time by adding increasingly beneficial capabilities in successive iterations
