Abel Solutions Provides SharePoint Deployment Planning Services for Industrial Developments International (IDI)
July 20, 2010
Abel Solutions, Atlanta’s only consulting firm focusing on the delivery of real business solutions on the SharePoint platform, announced today that they have been re-engaged by Industrial Developments International (IDI) to provide SharePoint Deployment Planning Services. Under the terms of this engagement, Abel will be assisting IDI with planning for internal business use of SharePoint as well as the implementation of initial intranet functionality across their organization.
“Even though it can be tough to eke out budget in the current economy, Abel’s approach to SharePoint and our needs fit quite well,” stated Hal Pate, Vice President, Information Services for IDI. “We are looking forward to getting our ‘internal SharePoint house’ in order.”
IDI had engaged Abel Solutions earlier this year for assistance in the development of their Investor Gateway, an externally facing portal that provides investors with access to IDI’s investment portfolio of funds and properties.
“Once IDI allowed us to demonstrate our business prowess in the development of the application for their investors, they came to appreciate how valuable our services could be in planning for the use of SharePoint across their entire organization,” explained Kevin Abel, President of Abel Solutions. “With SharePoint Deployment Planning Services we can help organizations like IDI obtain true business value from their SharePoint investment by taking a strategic approach to planning their deployment that helps avoid the pitfalls associated with organic implementations.”
