DMC and the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing are sponsoring a complimentary executive lunch briefing on March 4, 2010. The event’s topic, Use Technology You Already Own to Operate Efficiently and Competitively, will focus on using Microsoft SharePoint to make better decisions by tracking key performance indicators, cut costs by operating more efficiently and increase innovation by enabling collaboration.

“There are true cost-saving and innovation benefits companies will realize by taking full advantage of the SharePoint platform. Unfortunately, many small and mid-size organizations do not realize they already own the licensing rights to use core SharePoint features or sometimes they aren’t aware that SharePoint does a whole lot more than just store documents.”, says Rick Rietz, DMC’s Director of Consulting Services.

With over 100,000,000 world-wide users, Microsoft SharePoint has emerged as the de facto collaboration, search, workflow, and intelligence platform for business. SharePoint offers manufacturers a way to leverage the Microsoft technology they already own to drive their business to operate more efficiently and become more competitive through a multitude of capabilities:

• Make Better Decisions: Don’t get blindsided - take advantage of at-a-glance dashboard views of Key Performance Indicators
• Find Documents Fast: Quickly search and locate documents stored on your network drive or in SharePoint
• Avoid Costly Mistakes: Utilize version control and document management to avoid using the wrong version of a document
• Establish Best Practices: Use Wikis to easily create, maintain, and locate best practices and standard operating procedures
• Improve Collaboration and Communication: Establish an Intranet Portal, tailored to fit your organization's structure
