AEG Ogden - Giving the world reason to cheer
Many years ago when our CEO said he had a hunch that this “SharePoint” tool that Microsoft is launching will revolutionise the way we work together he was not wrong! AEG Ogden would have to agree. When they were faced with collaboration issues between their Australia entertainment locations, Web Design Magic and SharePoint came shining through with the solution.
“By creating a unified portal, all of the Australian locations can collaborate on upcoming events, shared documents, images and communications from a central location” explained Web Design Magic Project Manager, Aaron Butler.
“We can also compose workflow to automate processes such as document approval, email notifications among other tasks and provide a secure, cost effective and scalable solution that is so easy to use and that can be modified or changed to the customer’s liking in an instant.” Aaron further explained.
With SharePoint it is easy to rapidly deploy solutions. Web Design Magic has a great knowledge of what can and cannot be completed in this version as well as in upcoming versions like SharePoint 2010. “This thing is showing momentum” said CIO of AEG Ogden. “It is the future of how our company will collaborate”.
