Deployment Planning Services

What is SharePoint Deployment Planning Services?

SharePoint Deployment Planning Services (SDPS) is a Software Assurance framework through which Microsoft Partners such as Citric Technology can implement SharePoint to ensure that end users have maximum exploitation of SharePoint as a collaboration platform.                 

Citric Technology believe that the success of a SharePoint site, whether it is for intranet, extranet or internet use, is dependant on the quality of the deployment and configuration of the platform.

As well as minimising the cost of up-front partner investment and pre-sales planning, the SDPS engagement allows customers to identify exactly what they want from SharePoint, to develop their long term roadmap and to create strong collaboration that will enable them to seamlessly extend SharePoint throughout their organisation.

The benefits of SDPS to your organisation

The service offers you a 1, 3, 5, 10, or 15 day deployment planning service based on your individual software assurance benefit level. Customers will work with Citric to develop a customised SharePoint Portal Sever deployment plan for their specific environment and assess the overall cost for deployment of this technology.
