SharePoint Planning Services

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail" - That old proverb rings true for enterprise SharePoint projects.  Eastridge is trained, certified, and experienced in delivering SharePoint Deployment Planning Services for new installations, migrations, or upgrades.​

Eastridge is Certified by Microsoft to Deliver Focused SharePoint Planning Sessions.

Eastridge has the training and certifications from Microsoft to deliver SharePoint Deployment Planning Services (SDPS) to companies that need to plan a new SharePoint project, an upgrade from a previous version, or possibly an upgrade from a non-SharePoint system.  These engagements present an overview of SharePoint features for business and technical personnel, while also allowing for discovery of a customer's current technology and future strategic needs.  At the completion of these planning sessions customers come away with a prioritized plan that enumerates timeframes, budgets, and recommended feature combinations.  If customers choose for 5, 10, or 15 day planning sessions Eastridge can also create proof of concept applications on SharePoint that explore specific business and technical needs on a SharePoint platform.

Microsoft Volume License customers have the option of paying for SDPS engagements with their Volume License vouchers.  This allows SharePoint customers to either use their Software Assurance Benefits to pay for all or partial services, or pay directly for SharePoint deployment and upgrade services.

This service is offered in increments of 1, 3, 5, 10, and 15 days depending on customer needs.
