SharePoint Workflow Experts Blog

One of the repeating topics of my 10+ years of SharePoint work is Migration. No matter how good our architecture or solution or application was, the platform does get upgraded in a few years and we have to look at how to get it migrated across to the new technology. In the early days things weren’t trivial and migration was a nightmare. Over time SharePoint got better and the SharePoint community including partners brought great offerings to ease this pain.

With SharePoint’s latest release users are wanting to move and take advantage of the great features and benefits available in SharePoint 2013. jEyLaBs is participating in the SharePoint conference in Sydney next week and we will be chatting to community members on SharePoint 2013 and in particular the migration aspects, sharing our tales from the trenches.

jEyLaBs partner DELL software has updated their Quest migration tools offering to support SharePoint 2013 on-premise and cloud. jEyLaBs consultants have been assisting with SharePoint migration for some years now and our migration services include Quest tools as a standard offering now.

Check out the offering and let us know if you need any assistance with migration.

jEyLaBs just released the next version of our HighPoint solution for Australian High Schools.

We have updated apps focusing on Parent empowerment in this release. Parent portal password reset enhancements allow for ease of access recovery to parent portal. Calendaring for School events is updated for greater involvement of parents now. Parent Teacher Interview app got an upgrade focusing on better notifications.

With a new installer administrators can now progressively add new applications and update.

I look forward to feedback on our new Virtual class room app with unique resource sharing capabilities. This app was developed and improved over a 18 month period in conjunction with our partner schools.

These apps are developed using the following technologies: SharePoint, K2, SQL Server, ASP.NET and HTML5. We integrate with popular Student management systems such as Synergetic, First Class and Maze.

Consistency is as important as quality delivery. You have installed SharePoint. You have configured it with K2. You have built your first 3 eForms applications. You have celebrated the launch and took a holiday. You have done well.

You are now back to work. Getting the first set of applications live is a big step forward in your automation journey. Just as you have realised the importance of eForms, it is important to keep consistently delivering the promised value of the eForms platform to your stakeholders.

The last thing you want is the solution set you delivered to become the next legacy system to go out the window or get neglected. If you dont keep up with your level of service what you have done becomes a one-off! We do not believe in one-off’s. jEyLaBs engagement model ensures that you deliver ongoing ROI to your organisation.

We do this by establishing a roadmap, specific and clearly established strategic and tactical goals, a program of reviews and mentoring. jEyLaBs support provide health checks to ensure that your SharePoint application platform is fit and well. We apply best practices based techniques based on our on-going learning and project experiences.

Our process consultants sit with you and review your cost, the visible and invisible price you are paying and the ROI you are getting. We look at tangibles and intangibles. We provide a support and training program which allows you to have a support network that cares about you and your organisation’s goals.

Keeping your software platform humming along nicely is important. Getting the maximum value out of it consistently, year on year is more important. Do you want to know what it takes to do it? drop us a line at sales@jeylabs.com.au
