Customer Quote
K3’s people underpinned the project’s success, particularly the two implementation consultants assigned to the business. I built up a huge amount of trust in those two people, I was very impressed with how they delivered the project to us.

SharePoint
The versatility of Microsoft SharePoint lies in a technology designed for organisations and businesses of all sizes to increase productivity levels and promote efficiency.
SharePoint contains tools for collaboration that helps people stay connected regardless of where they are based, or what department they work in. With SharePoint your people can access the information they need, when they need it. SharePoint promotes a culture of information sharing and can change the way your business communicates. Through the use of SharePoint portals staff can keep in touch with the entire company.
Soft information such as branding, company messaging, personalisation of content and shared workspaces all help you to bring together users to form teams, share ideas and work on projects as if they were in the same building.
The flow of hard information is also supported. The centralised uploading and storage of data ensures that everyone is working off the same figures, while profiles and permissions can be set, giving managers control of who has access to what sets of information.
SharePoint also reduces the dependency on your IT department resources for site provisioning, implementation, backup, and support. Windows SharePoint Services provides better administrative controls for managing content, users, and sites so that individuals and teams can operate more efficiently and effectively.
Windows SharePoint Services enables IT professionals to tailor or extend the software to create new web-based tools and services tailored to fit the needs of the organisation. Businesses can tie these new tools and services to capitalise on existing IT investments and make the most of valuable information stored in back-end systems.
K3 have been working closely with selected customers to develop the Retail Portal. Shortlisted as a finalist in the 2007 Microsoft RAD awards this SharePoint based application addresses the need of widely dispersed retailers to share informal information alongside more structured transactional data on store performance in a convenient and familiar way that promotes a more cohesive organisational performance.
