On-Site Engagement with Extended Customer Lab Details

Cost $12,000

Description

A 10-day SDPS engagement starts with a 3-day Architecture Design Session (ADS) to gain an understanding of your business scenario and introduce the technologies, solutions, and concepts.  Two days about deployment planning for a specific Office SharePoint Server 2007 capability are immediately followed by a 5-day proof of concept project that demonstrates the solution in your environment.  The engagement will mitigate or help to eliminate any risk from an Office SharePoint Server 2007 solution, by providing a proof of concept application.  You will select one of the specific capabilities for the pilot project, and Project Solutions Group will provide a specific implementation, by using Microsoft applications and your hardware and software environment.
