MS Sharepoint 2007 - MOSS2007 development

Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2007 is a very extensive software platform which can be used for intranets, portals, web/enterprise content management, document management, collaboration, enterprise search, business intelligence and business process automation.

It is mainly geared towards larger organizations, although if you are an SME, it may still be the right fit for your organisation and IT strategy.

We specialise in developing CMS templates for Sharepoint 2007 for achieving custom designs and accessibility requirements for public websites or intranets.
To achieve this, we have developed custom interface controls which mean that we can achieve virtually any look-and-feel while at the same time maintaining a good level of accessibility.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
