SharePoint Health Check
Throughout years of operation, your SharePoint environment should keep showing high performance and security level. If your SharePoint solution started to show early signs of troubles, you shouldn’t leave them unaddressed. Even minor issues can become the cause of the deployment’s further stagnation, sluggish business processes and poor adoption.
To help you assess the efficiency of your SharePoint implementation, ScienceSoft comes up with the SharePoint Health Check service. We identify both current and potential issues in the SharePoint infrastructure, architecture, performance and security regardless of your SharePoint deployment size and purpose. We reveal all the pain points to restore the correct operation of your SharePoint solutions, thus maximizing users’ productivity and lowering your IT department’s load.
What is SharePoint Health Check?
Our 11-year SharePoint consulting and development practice allowed us to shape the proprietary SharePoint Health Check methodology. Its goal is to help organizations carry out thorough SharePoint performance monitoring and security audit. The methodology assesses the overall state of a SharePoint deployment and its particular components identifying flaws that affect a solution’s security, stability and performance. Our methodology covers but is not limited to:
When to Go for SharePoint Health Check?
Usually, enterprises face several common issues with their SharePoint environments. Any of these issues can be the right reason for carrying out SharePoint Health Check.
- Poor performance. The increasing amount of SharePoint sites, custom solutions and content can make your solution sluggish, which affects users’ productivity. ScienceSoft is here to conduct SharePoint performance monitoring and help you identify the core cause of troubles.
- Security issues. Misconfigured deployments, incorrectly set permissions and unpatched vulnerabilities are just a few problems that can undermine your solution security. In the course of an in-depth SharePoint security audit, ScienceSoft checks your SharePoint solution from different security angles to reveal both apparent and hidden security flaws and close them as soon as possible to avoid a major impact on your deployment.
- Poor user adoption. Both performance and security issues lead to consequent adoption problems. In close cooperation with end users, business and technical representatives, ScienceSoft analyzes your current solution and elaborates on the feasible tactics to fine-tune or reconfigure it to meet your corporate goals as well as users’ needs and preferences.
- High support costs. Finally, ongoing SharePoint issues require organizations to constantly spend extra money on supporting their solutions’ stability. By taking a proactive approach to solving the identified issues, you not only enhance the overall solution’s efficiency but also cut the cost of fixing problems by your system administrators or third-party service providers.
