 Here at Alba, we found the portal concept to be such a useful and powerful productivity tool that we've implemented it throughout our business. We use Microsoft Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 in conjunction with Office 2003, which allows us to leverage maximum benefit from the portal environment. Not only is it used internally for document storage, discussions and technical knowledge base management, we also use it for externally facing customer support and engineering project sites, where we collaborate with our clients.
We can provide all this for your company and more. There are many off-the-shelf web parts available that we can advise on, and using our advanced programming capabilities, we can design and build custom web parts that will meet virtually any requirement. You can pull in data from a variety of sources, such as:
- production statistics
- batch records
- process trends
And even use external information like:
- stock market trends
- weather reports
You can analyse the data, perform advanced calculations on it to get KPIs, OEE and predictive maintenance calculations, and then publish it to the people in your company who need it, all in real-time. And you can do it all from your web browser.
Companies like OSISoft, the makers of the PI process information system, are moving to embrace Sharepoint. OSISoft's upcoming RtPortal product is a Sharepoint-based portal that provides a rich environment for viewing and analysing process data.
OSISoft is also using Sharepoint to help run its business, as are many other major companies like Dell, HP, Hitachi, AstraZeneca, Honeywell and Microsoft themselves. Alba can help you to implement a first-class Sharepoint solution and gain the maximum benefit and return on investment from this exciting new technology. |
