Case Studies

For the last 3 years SoftControl has implemented various SharePoint solutions and developed many customized web part components (add-ons) ranging from helpful organizing tools to elaborated SharePoint Administration extensions.

Business Overview:

Although SharePoint and ISA (Internet Security and Acceleration Server) are Microsoft products, they do not automatically work together. However, because the entrance to SharePoint services are web based, our client (a large, multinational company with facilities in most major countries) wanted to have internet access available for employees who were not on the main site.

With ISA’s very thorough capabilities of firewalling and permission setting, our client wanted integration with the SharePoint portal and ISA.

Solution:

SoftControl’s solution was to create an entrance portal which would not only ensure the security of the site, but would also be functional and branded appropriately.

ISA’s security features are implemented without compromise to its integrated firewall and protection policies. We integrated ISA’s features so employees of each work group are given permission to access the documents and areas appropriate to their function. Furthermore, each group is given a “home page” which immediately gives them access to the features they use the most, improving work flows.

Finally, the portal home page is implemented with the client’s logo & colors, complete even with the company’s current stock prices which are pulled real time from the internet.
