Industry: Retail
Country: Saudi Arabia
Solution: Corporate
Intranet on SharePoint
Technologies & Tools:Technology: C#.NET,
SharePoint
2010Database: MS
SQL Server 2008 R2
Background: Our Client is one of the leading suppliers of
packaging products in the Middle East. They also have one of the
largest bookstores in the Middle East. They have their own
publishing Division, which produced more than 1000 different
titles. Currently they have over 30 Stores under operation with
average store size 3000 4000 Sq. Mt.Challenges: Being a group of companies, our client had multiple
critical business processes built on different platforms. They were
looking to invest in a platform that the whole Group could utilize
in order to make processing of information more efficient; both
intercompany and across the Group. The new platform needed to
allow relevant information to be shared clearly between the largenumber of staff, the companies that sit within the Group and the
separate support functions and departments.

Corporate Intranet On SharePoint
Solution:We started with an analysis of the key businesses
processes that our client wanted to streamline using an intranet.
Meeting with key stakeholders, the team was able to determine
the business value of each existing process as well as all proposed
and desired modifications. Once our team understood the needs
of the business, the next step was to create a project plan to re-engineering these processes into a collaborative workflow of
enabled SharePoint sites that would allow users to create, share
and approve information. A phased approach was devised in
which a mix of business applications would be deployed in each
phase. Katpro team developed a master intranet page with sub-
sites for each specific department and its related businessprocesses. Document libraries, lists, discussion boards and other
SharePoint features were used to create business applications on
the SharePoint platform. Custom web parts were created to
resolve specific business issues and meet requirements. Active
Directory was set as the permissions platform and was used
extensively to manage user access into specific businessapplication sub-sites.

Corporate Intranet On SharePoint
SharePoint Reporting Services were used for ad-hoc reports and
dashboard tools. MySites in collaboration with Lync was enabled
for communication. Approval workflows and alerts were
incorporated into the sites as required.
Katpro also architected an effective SharePoint extranet solution
that would enable staff and vendors to manage all aspects of theshipping and order tracking requests. Our team created a
SharePoint extranet solution that leveraged forms based
authentication using a separate instance of Microsoft SQL Server
instead of having vendor information in the Active Directory.
Custom SharePoint Web Parts were leveraged to create a strong
authentication process for vendors to login and review requests.The vendors only have access to their own requests and were
able to process the requests. Once the requests were processed,
vendors are able to notify appropriate staff members of shipment
status as well as provide them with real time tracking
information.
