Overview
SharePoint is a web–based collaboration solution that allows organizations to share information with unprecedented ease, in a style that is
seamlessly tailored to fit an organization’s particular needs. Information is easily protected and shared on a user by user basis – both within
organizational boundaries and across the web, based on business need. Information from other systems can also be accessed and leveraged
by a SharePoint solution.
Organizations are now recognizing the benefits of unifying business technologies and information into an integrated collaboration solution
that brings together web capabilities with business intelligence and information sharing and processing. SharePoint is the hottest collaboration
solution on the market today and RCM’s SharePoint Quick Start provides your company with an immediate,
cost-effective low risk first step towards an integrated collaboration and knowledge sharing solution. With this solution,
your company will experience immediate value and quickly see employee and team productivity improvements.
