Collaboration platforms, like SharePoint, have become key assets inside any organization. Utilizing portals to share documents, calendars, lists, and resources are no longer a luxury, but a necessity within organizations. I know our team couldn’t live without our SharePoint site- it’s by far the easiest way for us to connect on our projects and make sure we are on the same page (both literally and figuratively).

While SharePoint is a great tool to use internally, it’s also an amazing platform when it resides outside the firewall, where collaboration can exist between partners, vendors, and customers. Creating portals to promote collaboration outside of your immediate organization not only enhances efficiency, but relationships as well.

In our upcoming webinar series “Thinking Outside the Firewall with SharePoint”, Perficient will share with you the many ways SharePoint can be utilized to connect your business with the organizations you collaborate with on a daily basis.

We’ll be kicking off our series on January 24^th with an Extranets webinar. Extranets connect organizations to employees, partners, vendors and customers and provide a secure, engaging and personalized interaction with people, information, applications and business processes. With the proper strategy in place, extranets can provide a strong competitive advantage, reduce costs and ultimately foster business growth.

Perficient’s SharePoint Extranets Webinar is a must attend event for organizations looking to:

• Reduce supply chain      inefficiencies
• Interact with your loyal customer      base
• Extend customer self service      strategies
• Share business resources with      partners
• Enable mobile capabilities
• Extend remote employee access
