So you’ve made the decision to leave Sharepoint.

You’re probably relieved, because the move means the end to many headaches and problems.

But now you’re faced with about a hundred solutions that all claim to be the “True Sharepoint Alternative.” How do you choose? How do you avoid leaving one disaster only to find yourself deeply invested in another?

Don’t worry – our simple guide  to choosing a Sharepoint Alternative will ensure that you make the right choice. Opt for a SaaS solution. SaaS means software as a service, as opposed to hardware/on premises solutions, and they don’t require expensive installation and maintenance. Make sure that implementation of the solution across your entire company will not be difficult, expensive nor time-consuming. Request an implementation plan or strategy and how long the implementation is expected to last before the solution is full integrated. Your Sharepoint Alternative should be user friendly, so that even the most non-tech saavy member of your team can easily adopt it. One of the most important features of any Sharepoint Alternative is security. Make sure that your solution meets Fortune 500 security requirements, under which your data will be protected and secure. e Make sure you are getting enough storage. Once your data storage is exhausted, extra storage space can be costly. Check to see that your Sharepoint Alternative company has a backup data storage facility. Even better, check to see which solutions have more than one data storage back up location. The more, the better. A Sharepoint Alternative must be flexible, since there are probably a diversity of computer and OS users in your company. Make sure your Sharepoint Alternative works for multiple browsers, Mac, PC and has mobile phone support. Scalability is another thing to keep in mind. If you’re company is growing (which we hope it is), you need to think ahead to when  your team multiplies by two, three or four times its size. Will your solution grow with you? If not, it’s better to dump it now. After you’ve purchased your solution, you’re going to need to implement it across your company and get everyone on board in the most efficient and timely way. Good Sharepoint Alternatives offer an Implementation Specialist who can guide you through your company’s transition over from Sharepoint.

Implement sophisticated, cross-site, relational-database solutions in SharePoint.

 

*******************

KWizCom recently released a new and improved version of their web part – “SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus”. 

This innovative KWizCom solution enables users to easily implement real, sophisticated, cross-site, relational-database solutions in SharePoint. Irrelevant information is automatically filtered out, streamlining workflow, enhancing usability and saving time that can be better invested in higher priority tasks.

KWizCom’s SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus gives users the power to transform data into knowledge by connecting SharePoint lists and enabling them to function like a “normal” database application. This is beneficial in a wide variety of business scenarios where one is interested not only in individual pieces of data (for example, who Mr. Salesman sold to) but rather desires integrated knowledge (what did Mr. Salesman’s client buy).

Nimrod Geva, KWizCom’s VP Sales and Marketing says: “Users are so accustomed to web-form capabilities that they tend to expect the same from every form they use. Out of the box SharePoint Lookup fields are one-directional and do not have cascading capabilities – where one field filters the next.

 Instead of allowing users to become frustrated, SharePoint implementers can now add dual look-up AND cascading capabilities to their SharePoint lookup fields.

We’re making it possible for end-users to have all the benefits of SharePoint a long with the enhanced capabilities and usability of more flexible applications”.

KWizCom’s SharePoint Cascading Lookup Plus is compatible with both MOSS 2007 / WSS 3.0, grants cross-browser support and is multi-lingual – a standard for all KWizCom components.
