My renewed skills set includes Sharepoint user administration, as well as more advanced concepts such as workflows, data correlation between lists and taking advanced user demands into account. As an example, I currently manage a self-made facilities portal which replaces my company’s old interface with the facilities contractor. Using in-house resources, this drops the TCO costing of this aspect of housekeeping to mere “employee hours” in addition to the standard Sharepoint licensing. An enormous cutting of costs without loss of functionality.
In addition, this implementation as well as renewal of our process descriptions and the associated discussions cater to my interest in teaching and process design. There’s something to be said for taking an enormously complicated structure and turning it into an easy-to-understand graphic. Anyone who’s ever untangled the wires behind the TV set should know what that feels like!
