Review and Discovery Services
Find out about our three review and discovery services: The Strategic Review, The Deep Dive Review and The Migration Discovery.
The Strategic Review
The Strategic Review is designed to provide a review of your projects, objectives and technology, helping to map and validate your approach. This, coupled with the inclusion of consulting time with our team of subject matter experts, will provide a great starting point, and at the same time aid in implementing the basics and simplifying your current IT environment.
Our Strategic Review focuses on the following core areas
Platform Analysis - Review of your selected/deployed platform
Application Configuration - Build an understanding of the application (i.e. SharePoint), how it is configured and what settings are affecting its performance
Security Profile - Review the current or required security configuration
Architecture - Determine what structure is required, including the definition of other application/systems the project solution will integrate with
Disaster Recovery - Review the current business continuity strategy
Support and Maintenance - Recommendations for the ongoing operation of your project solution over the long term
The Strategic Review and Recommendations Report will include the full results of outcomes from review and recommendations for meeting stated project outcomes
the Deep Dive Review
The Deep Dive Discovery exercise is a purpose-built, detailed review of your Microsoft SharePoint environment. The review is designed to comprehensively analyse each component of the environment and define its use within the business objectives defined by you.
The Deep Dive Discovery Review will focus on the following core areas:
SharePoint farm technical discovery
Active Directory configuration
Microsoft SQL server configuration
Connected applications, security and add-in discovery
System and application log analysis
Stakeholder and subject matter expert requirements/Q&A
Change in the technical configuration of your environment to allow access in a federated business model (i.e. allowing one of their subsidiaries to be able to access content in their CAG environment)
Detailed report covering configuration and discovered issues
Recommendations, roadmap framework and next steps
Upon completion of the review, a Deep Dive Review and Recommendations Report will be generated, which will outline the discovered structure of the SharePoint farm and its associated applications, along with a series of recommendations and/or priority changes needed within the SharePoint environment.
A presentation to your Executive Team will be delivered, summarising the findings and outcomes of the Deep Dive Discovery.
the Migration Discovery
Our Migration services consist of an initial fixed price engagement with an aim to provide full discovery of the technical environment and migration strategy, along with providing a scope and sizing for actual migration effort. The discovery phase is followed by a time and materials engagement to perform the actual migration tasks. The Migration Discovery Review is designed to take a detailed look at each component of the the environment and define its use within the business objectives defined by you, and to confirm the appropriate migration strategy and approach.
The Migration Discovery Review will focus on the following core areas:
SharePoint farm technical discovery
Content discovery and sizing
Application dependencies
Third party and custom solution package dependencies
Content and information exception processes
Detailed report of configuration and discovered issues
Recommendations, roadmap framework and next steps
