Renault Trucks s.r.o., a company providing services in the
utility vehicles market, came to us with a request for creating
an intranet company portal to facilitate teamwork and
collaboration on joint projects.
“I must say that at all times I have always been served with high professionalism by MEMOS
team workers – any time and over any problem that we resolved.”

 Centralized system to support information sharing
 Full-text search function supported
 Directory of contacts „Who is who“ – displaying internal contacts from Active
Directory
 Synoptic view of the company’s organizational structure
 Support for team collaboration on joint projects (documents, tasks)
 Implementation of the company’s graphical identity
What did we offer to our client?
In response to Renault Trucks company’s requirements, we have implemented a
Microsoft Office Sharepoint Server 2007 portal solution which meets all criteria as
requested by the customer. Within a single portal framework we were able to create
independent web portals which are accessible only by specific departments or workplaces.
The purpose of deploying independent portals was to provide company employees in
different departments with the ability to share data with other team members at the same
working sites. These were components which were set up with pre-defined access levels
only for selected users, i.e. workers from the respective department. Sharing of information
among all employees within the company is standard functionality which is handled
through the main web portal – accessible to everyone.
How did the analysis proceed?
In order to prepare most effectively for the portal implementation, we held several
meetings with the company’s IT managers. As a result of the gathered knowledge, we
were able to prepare a smoothly running portal for our customer, perfectly matching the
presented requirements. The customer emphasized, among other points, the correct
implementation of the company graphical image which we had sourced from marketing
materials.
The solution design
Following the results of our analysis, we decided on a Sharepoint system. The portal
runs on Windows Server 2003, and data storage is safely handled by a database server
on a computer running Microsoft SQL Server. In order to create a synoptic chart of the
company structure and its internal contacts, we decided to use Microsoft Office Search

service, and linked it to the customer’s Active Directory; this procedure ensures that
information contained in the domain structure is correctly mapped to the intranet portal.
The whole process complies with pre-set rules that we have defined on the basis of the
requested functionality for different target groups, and also in accordance with
synchronization rules.
To satisfy the requirement for displaying contact information, we used user lists and
defined views for the intended content to be displayed. Thus the employer could see what
he wished – an employee’s photo, name and job position.
Full-text document and contact search was effectively implemented by deploying the
Microsoft Office Search service.
Conclusion
As a result of the implemented MS Sharepoint solution, the customer’s employees
who routinely use the system now experience improved and efficient processes in their
daily work. Important information, such as documents, tasks and appointments are now
located in a single point of reference accessible to all workers.
