Client Context

The client needed a reliable partner around SharePoint product and platform work.

The source case describes a software distribution and licensing expert with a worldwide customer base and a strong focus on cloud adoption. The client turned to Shinetech when it needed to update SharePoint solutions and add new apps and components.

This was not a one-off configuration engagement. The work required a team that could understand SharePoint versions, product usability, integrations, and delivery rhythm.

Challenge

The tool had to work across SharePoint versions and connect with surrounding workplace systems.

  • Support both on-premise and online SharePoint.
  • Work with SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013, which was the latest version at the time.
  • Integrate with social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
  • Connect with office components such as Outlook.
  • Provide a user experience strong enough for intranet, extranet, or internet adoption.

Solution

Shinetech formed a five-person offshore development team led by a senior .NET developer.

The first project was a browser-based User Interface design tool for SharePoint. After the client was pleased with the outcome, the collaboration expanded into a broader set of intranet solutions and practical SharePoint tools.

The team used iterative and incremental development, prototypes for larger projects, and daily project updates for transparency.

Product Scope

The work moved from a single tool into a long-term SharePoint delivery stream.

  • SharePoint intranet development and maintenance.
  • Custom apps and reusable components.
  • Template-driven experiences for intranet, extranet, and internet sites.
  • Practical tools designed around consultant and customer needs.
  • Close collaboration with the client's onshore consultants.

Result

More than twenty projects turned the team into an extension of the client's platform capability.

Over more than three years, Shinetech worked hand-in-hand with the onshore team on more than twenty projects. The client was satisfied with the delivery quality and efficiency, and the relationship continued across projects of varied complexity.

Reusable lessons

What a similar engagement should clarify early.

  • Map the business workflow and the roles that need different visibility.
  • Confirm the data and access boundary before implementation.
  • Choose a first release small enough to review and real enough to prove fit.
  • Keep QA, documentation, handover, and ownership visible from the beginning.
