Office 365 Consulting

Capture and map business requirements to SharePoint Online features, design SharePoint Online site collection architecture and discuss integrated content management functionality and opportunities.

Alcero believes that any creative or technical solution is only as good as the business objectives, research, and strategy that support it. We define a successful SharePoint solution as one that not only meets the functional and business needs of the client but – to achieve the underlying business objectives – one that is used by people within the client organization. User adoption is the critical focus of the information design. Simply put, without improvements in user adoption business objectives can’t be achieved.
