Customer: Leading construction company Industry: Construction Solution Type: MS SharePoint Server Technologies: Microsoft Office SharePoint® Server 2007 Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Microsoft.NET, JavaScript

Customer, which is one of the largest US providers of construction management, design/build and general contracting services, met its needs by upgrading to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and taking advantage of its Enterprise Search capability, which extends search beyond Web site content to include directories of people and expertise; line-of-business systems and other structured data sources; and shared files, document repositories, and other unstructured information.


Customer is using Enterprise Search in several ways:

• Empowering employees to find the information and expertise that they need on the company’s intranet.
• As a programmable component of several Office Business Applications, which bring together the front office and back office by making the data in line-of-business systems more accessible and usable.
• As a way to empower both intranet and extranet users to find the information that they need about products, inventory levels, and more — data that is stored in multiple line-of-business systems.

To assist with solution design and architecture, including use of Enterprise Search, Customer enlisted the aid of Eclipse SP, a Microsoft Certified Partner that already had experience with Office SharePoint Server 2007 through its ongoing relationship with Microsoft.
