Client is one of India’s leading real-estate developers, developing high-end residential buildings, SEZs, convention centers and luxury malls across India since 1996.
The client was looking for a SharePoint based application that would help its geographically dispersed teams to:
Schedule meetings with or without tasks
Track meetings, MOMs and action items
Create, assign and track tasks list independently or based on action points concluded in a given meeting
Generate reports with multiple dimensions of such tasks
Generate alerts to the intranet/ internet and mobile for tasks
This Meeting and Task Tracking application needed to be available over both intranet and internet.
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 – Enterprise Edition
Microsoft .Net 3.5
CSS
JavaScript
JQuery
Eternus Solutions team reviewed the business requirements of the client and worked with the client to implement an intranet and internet based Meeting and Task Tracking application.
Feature mapping with SharePoint 2010 OOTB features: Eternus Solutions team matched the required features of the application with core SharePoint 2010 features.
SharePoint based customization: The requirements that did not fit into SharePoint 2010 OOTB features were then isolated and SharePoint 2010 was customized to implement these requirements. This exercise was carried out during the design phase.
Custom development using .Net: The application had some requirements that have been implemented using the core .Net development and then added as custom developed features of SharePoint 2010.
Smartphone accessibility: The application needed to be accessible on Smartphone based browsers, for which the team leveraged SharePoint mobile sites and made the features accessible on Smartphones.
