Microsoft SharePoint 2013 is heads and shoulders above the earlier versions. Innovative features that enable business to access more data from outside SharePoint, support apps from Office Store, multiply branding opportunities, beef up security while simplifying authentication, optimise mobile experience and performance, simplify project management, and enhance records management and compliance make the latest version of SharePoint even more suited to the needs of enterprises.

Enterprises can do a lot more with SharePoint 2013, and many businesses are planning to migrate to it. While there are tons of new features that make this platform and framework more attractive, it is the enhanced mobile experience and support for applications from Office Store that will make it invaluable to enterprise IT managers and CTOs. An organisation can double the efficiency of its SharePoint by migrating to the latest version. And, if it is accessible through a high-performance mobile app, SharePoint can be the most beneficial business app for enterprises.

Cygnet Infotech, a Microsoft Gold Partner with several competencies, is one of the major players in the SharePoint development and innovation field. Combining analytical and technical skills, the company has helped several businesses identify, implement and deploy the right solution on SharePoint. In addition Cygnet has also helped enterprises migrate or upgrade to a higher version of SharePoint to enhance collaboration, streamline business processes and improve overall organisational efficiency.

"Intelligently implemented, SharePoint has the power to substantially boost the competitiveness of enterprises. At Cygnet, we excel in customising and aligning SharePoint solutions to match the exact needs of our client's business. Ranging from enterprise-wide content and collaboration solution for a media giant or an online collaboration portal for a healthcare enterprise, to a comprehensive ticket management systems and document management portals for different industries, we have delivered several path-breaking solutions leveraging different facets and features of SharePoint," says Jay Mehta, SharePoint Project Manager and Consultant at Cygnet Infotech.

Jay Mehta, a veteran with several successful projects under his belt, has been invited as a speaker at the Share Conference on 18 and 19 June, and he will also be available at Booth #19. He will share expert insights on the subject of SharePoint 2013 migration, drawing upon hands-on experience of aligning business goals with SharePoint solutions. The presentation will focus on the reasons for & against migrating to SharePoint for business, how to migrate different parts of SharePoint, manage disruptions, define a migration plan, and ensure a smooth and fruitful migration of the platform as well as business.

"Migrating SharePoint tends to throw up unexpected problems, but a clearly outlined plan can make the process smooth and fast. SharePoint 2013 comes with a bucketful of new features that can help enterprises get much more out of SharePoint. The trick is to identify the areas of change and harness newer features for optimizing business benefits. At Cygnet, we are super excited about leveraging mobile technology and optimization of SharePoint use, we have come up with M1-Share - an app that takes enterprise mobility to another level," said Jay Mehta.

SharePoint 2013 takes note of the rising importance of mobility in enterprise - the mobile browser experience is optimised, SharePoint sites can now easily accommodate a wider range of devices, and office web apps are accessible through mobile browsers. It even enables push notifications and introduces a new geolocation field type that developers can use for mobile application development. But, the fact remains that while SharePoint data is accessible on mobile, most of it cannot be truly interacted through mobile devices.

To get around this issue and squeeze out most benefits from SharePoint, Cygnet has crafted an innovative enterprise mobile solution called M1-Share. Jay Mehta sheds light on it: "The SharePoint framework is immensely powerful. Coupled with mobility, it can add tremendous value to a business. Many of our clients expressed the desire for a solution that could help them access and use all the features of SharePoint through mobile."

Jay continues: "So, we decided to build a mobile solution that can help govern SharePoint. The task was incredibly challenging owing to the complex nature of admin actions, challenges of security, and the difficulty of data exchange between SharePoint Server and various mobile devices. Overcoming these - and several other minor challenges - we have succeeded in building a comprehensive solution that brings SharePoint to the fingertips of enterprises. Cygnet's M1-Share not only enables users to perform regular tasks like place meeting notes, update projects or task status, but also empowers enterprise IT to manage information rights, SharePoint list contents and collaboration capabilities through mobile."
