Company Name: MacroView

SharePoint Topic: Business

Challange: In mid-2011 AEGIS started a
project to replace an existing document management system with a
solution based on SharePoint 2010. The objective was to reduce IT
operational costs by rationalizing on the SharePoint platform. The
Project Team identified numerous critical weaknesses with the OOB
DM capabilities of SharePoint, so started looking for add-on
software that would address these weaknesses. The first add-on that
they installed fell well short, with the result that the project
was in a critical state until they found MacroView DMF.  

Benefits and Outcomes: 

Reaction from AEGIS users to the new SharePoint + MacroView DMF
document management solution has been positive. The new solution
continues to provide the DM functionality and security features
that they relied on in the previous DM environment. Users
particularly like the Favoritesfeature of MacroView DMF. This
enables one-click navigation to frequently-used areas of the
SharePoint environment. AEGIS commissioned MacroView to configure
the Push Favorites mechanism of MacroView DMF, which automatically
creates Favorites for each user, based on the Policies and Claims
that they (or their selected colleagues) are associated with in the
line-of-business Policy and Claims administration systems.
The project enabled the retirement of an old platform and reduced
the number of applications, which provided a major saving in terms
of software license fees and operational costs. There was minimal
disruption to on-going business operations. The way the new
solution maintained functionality and provided a broadly similar
look and feel were vital in this regard, because they minimized the
amount of user re-training that was required.

Best of all, the project to move DM to SharePoint was completed
on-schedule and ahead of budget.
