SharePoint Topic: Collaboration

Challenge :

The charity needed to find a way of coordinating its activities,
linking in with partner organisations
and getting often sensitive information out to those working on
the front line in order to maximise the productivity of the small
team. It was also crucial to demonstrate to potential funders
through accurate performance data that Age UK Islington was a
credible organisation that was run efficiently and effectively and
therefore worth the investment.

Chief executive Andy Murphy was attracted to Microsoft SharePoint
as a tool to publish and share information already held on the
charity specific contact management system, Charitylog, and to
automate workflow processes in order to deliver services that were
fully compliant with best practice.

Benefits and Outcomes:

Program Framework worked with Age UK Islington bringing
everything together on a system that was set up and configured to
meet the twin needs of accessibility and security. All those who
regularly use IT are now comfortably using SharePoint. It has given
them more ownership of their areas of work and allows them to
respond to requests more quickly. Because all the data and
information is automatically available, they don’t have to
spend time compiling reports, so freeing them for
more productive work. SharePoint has given Age UK Islington
modern systems and processes that will improve its service and
enhance its reputation and perception in the funding market.
