2.0 Proposed Solution
Dynamiteapptech is proposing to deliver this business requirement for Jake Riley’s Company on
SharePoint Online.
SharePoint Online—A Brief Overview
Figure 1. SharePoint as a Component of Microsoft Office 365 Suite
SharePoint Online is an enterprise-grade solution that enhances communications and collaboration
capabilities by empowering people and groups to easily create sites to share documents and information.
It requires minimal extra cost and overhead because there is no need to physically deploy any software
on site, and because Microsoft assumes much of the operational burden of managing the IT
infrastructure. Because it is a cloud-based service, organizations simply subscribe to SharePoint Online,
which can help simplify the implementation process and accelerate time to value.
SharePoint Online is hosted by Microsoft in redundant, geographically dispersed data centres and it
benefits from mission-critical availability and reliability. It is also governed by the same security policies
and protocols that are used for vital enterprise applications.
SharePoint Online can serve a wide range of enterprise use cases. For example, organizations could
extend an existing intranet to remote locations, such as branch or retail outlets. This use case can be
particularly valuable for Jake Riley LTD with workers who don’t have fixed workstations and spread
across the 39 Area Offices in the 9 regions of the 4 States under its jurisdiction. With SharePoint Online,
Jake Riley LTD can create the most common and useful kinds of sites. These include:
My Sites are sites individuals use to manage, protect, and share personal
documents and information, and to follow their colleagues’ activities.
Team Sites are used to keep teams synchronized, and to manage important
projects. Teams can use these sites for tasks such as storing common documents and meeting
notes, tracking key milestones and schedules, stablishing project delivery schedules, and
enabling real-time communications between colleagues.
Intranet Sites are used to deliver JAKE RILEY LTD news and information, and to keep
staff up to date with the latest company news and information. Jake Riley LTD can use them to
share information with mobile or remote employees, find people and important documents, share
ideas and seek input in discussion forums, and provide access to information about important
company processes, policies, training, and reporting.
These varieties of possible use cases and sites demonstrates how SharePoint Online is ideal for
organizations to selectively create, distribute, and provide access to information and workloads.
SharePoint Online also works with familiar Microsoft Office applications. Users can easily create Office
documents and save them directly to SharePoint Online, or co-author documents with Microsoft Office
Web Apps such as PowerPoint Web App and Excel Web App. Users can access Office documents
offline or from mobile devices, and they can set document-level permissions to protect sensitive content.
2.1 Functionalities of Microsoft SharePoint
SharePoint powers content collaboration, intranets, and employee engagement across Microsoft 365—
including Office, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and more—and is deeply integrated with the security and
compliance of Microsoft 365, the world’s productivity cloud.
Figure 2. Magic Quadrant for Content Services Platforms.
Over 400,000 organizations, including Company and Public Sector institutions, use SharePoint Online in
Microsoft 365. With over 100 million monthly commercial active users, customers are turning to
SharePoint Online for their mission critical content and processes, from financial contracts and global
infrastructure projects, to building plans and employee benefits. SharePoint Online is a platform that
natively provide functionalities to develop Electronic Document Management System and, Intranet
Portal and Business Process Automation for improved worker productivity. These will enable Jake Riley
LTD to achieve the imperatives for modernizing it workplace.
The Gartner Magic Quadrant 2019 report depicted in Figure 2 above shows Microsoft SharePoint’s
dominant position within the leader’s quadrant of the Content Services Platforms Magic Quadrant for
2019. Magic Quadrant (MQ) is a series of market research reports published by IT consulting firm
Gartner that rely on proprietary qualitative data analysis methods to demonstrate market trends, such as
direction, maturity and participants. Their analyses are conducted for several specific technology
industries and are updated every 1–2 years: once an updated report has been published its predecessor is
"retired".
2.2 Intranet Portal
Microsoft SharePoint is a cloud-based service that helps organizations share and manage content,
knowledge, and applications to:
Empower teamwork.
Quickly find information.
Seamlessly collaborate across the organization
Microsoft SharePoint supports intelligent workplaces — those that leverage the collective knowledge of
current users, share, and collaborate easily, and engage audiences with targeted content and news.
Intranet Portal is the entry point that unifies access to enterprise information and applications on an
intranet. This tool helps companies manage their data, applications, and information more easily
through personalized views. SharePoint Online as a portal solution is able to integrate legacy
applications, objects from other portals, and handle thousands of user requests. In a corporate enterprise
environment, it is also known as an enterprise portal.
The intranet portal will include the main landing page (Communication Site) as shared by JAKE
RILEY LTD which serves as the hub for other intranet sites and individual sites for departments or
divisions.
2.2.1 Solution Benefits
The following are some of the benefits of using SharePoint Intranet Portal.
2.2.2 Centralizing information
Intranet portals bring together multiple applications and information into one portal, helping to improve
efficiency and subsequently increase staff productivity. Employees will have access to more information
all in one place using SharePoint Online as an effective intranet portal, helping them to do their jobs
more effectively.
2.2.3 Improved Communication
Communication is very important for the success of an organization. It is vital to keep employees
engaged and involved in corporate conversations. SharePoint Intranet portal can streamline and
centralize JAKE RILEY LTD’s communications, allowing you to send the right message to the right
people in the right language. This will encourage employee participation and engagement, setting JAKE
RILEY LTD on the right path to business success.
2.2.4 Improved Collaboration
Encouraging collaboration within a global enterprise is pivotal. However, seamless collaboration can be
difficult in large organizations due to the international scale of business operation. Employees will speak
different languages and be based in different locations around the world. Bringing everyone together can
be a challenge that an intranet portal can help overcome.
An intranet portal breaks down barriers and provides an accessible platform to encourage collaboration.
2.2.6 Document Management
An intranet portal improves access to company information. When you consider that on average
employees spend over 7 hours a week looking for information, the importance and benefit of
centralizing documents becomes obvious. Advanced search functions allow employees to quickly find
what they are looking for, increasing productivity, and giving them the tools to do their job.
2.2.7 Regulatory Compliance
The benefit here is one of avoiding trouble, which can be serious enough to shut down the business.
Government regulations require maintenance of different kinds of data and documents, and the
requirements are often very complex. A good intranet portal will help ensure compliance with the rules,
using such means as checklists, standard forms, and automated organization.
2.2.8 Document Security
Maintaining documents becomes necessary to meet many different requirements. Documents can
contain business secrets and other confidential data, such as product formulas or employees’ personal
details. If unauthorized persons gain access to these documents, it can lead to business damage or legal
damages. An intranet portal ensures that only authorized persons can access documents within the
various sites on the intranet portal.
2.3 Workflows and Business Process Automation (BPA)
Workflows and Business Process Automation (BPA) is the use of "technology components to
substitute and/or supplement manual processes to manage information flow within an organization to
lower costs, reduce risk, and increase consistency." In order to achieve these goals, companies must
identify any unnecessary amount of work and eliminate inefficient labor. Workflows and Business
Process Automation will further reduce the amount of physical forms / paper that is utilized in handling
internal processes by replacing those paper forms with electronic forms that is stored in SharePoint
Online.
Figure 4. Workflow
2.3.1 Benefits of Workflows and Business Process Automation (BPA)
Virtually eliminate time spent handling, retrieving, filing, distributing, faxing, copying, organizing and
searching for paperwork. You may save thousands of naira on papers alone.
Save hundreds or even thousands of work hours in a year by automating routine tasks with macros
and programming.
Implementing a fixed method of workflow ensures that your procedures and methods of doing
business are maintained, that project status can be easily tracked (through reporting, etc.) and simplifies
the task of training new employees.
A centralized location for documentation: in addition to a systematized approach for retrieving needed
reports, documents and specifications ensures that everyone has access to the correct, up-to-date
information. Information that is created, captured, stored and maintained in a predetermined, organized
format is more complete, easier to work with and allows for greater consistency.
Elimination or minimization of double entry: In other words, data should only need to be entered in
the computer one time. In addition to double entry equating to unnecessary double work, there is the
problem of updating important information in one file and not another. For example, a clerk at a branch
may update a person’s contact information in their customer database and fail to notify the Customer
Service team, which may be responsible for updating the client’s address in the client’s document and
contract files.
Elimination or minimization of duplicate files: If more than one person is responsible for working on
or reviewing the same files, a common problem is that duplicate copies of the subject files exist on the
network. When there are duplicate files in use, assuming the error is caught, additional time must be
spent combining those files.
A higher level of constancy can be had by automating the creation of documents based on information
already included in the database.
Microsoft Power Automate helps to Streamline repetitive tasks and paperless processes so that you can
focus your attention where it’s needed most. With this, Jake Riley LTD can build time-saving workflows
into everything from individual tasks to large-scale systems with seamless integration using hundreds of
prebuilt connectors.
As the adoption grows and with appropriate knowledge transfer and capacity building, the company
employees can build secure workflows with a no-code guided experience and cloud-based data loss
prevention, identity, and access management services.
Additionally, Power Automate will help Jake Riley LTD automate time-consuming manual tasks with
built-in AI capabilities, giving back more time to company’s workforce to focus on strategic, high-value
opportunities.

4.0 General Engagement Approach
4.1 Key Dynamiteapptech Activities
Dynamiteapptech will leverage the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) to execute this
deployment engagement. The Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) is an adaptable approach
for successfully delivering technology solutions faster, with fewer people and less risk, while
enabling higher quality results. MSF helps teams directly address the most common causes of
technology project failure — improving success rates, solution quality, and business impact.
Figure 5. Microsoft Solutions Framework
Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) focuses on:
• Aligning business and technology goals
• Establishing clear project goals, roles, and responsibilities
• Implementing an iterative, milestone/checkpoint-driven process
• Managing risk proactively
• Responding to change effectively
MSF Phase Description
Envisioning During the Envisioning Phase, one of the most fundamental requirements for
project success is addressed unification of the project team behind a common
vision. The team must have a clear vision of what it wants to accomplish for the
customer and must be able to state it in terms that will motivate the entire team
and the customer. Envisioning, by creating a high-level view of the project’s
goals and constraints, can serve as an early form of planning; it sets the stage for
the more formal planning process that will take place during the project’s
Planning phase
Planning During the Planning Phase, the bulk of project planning is completed. The team
prepares the functional specification, works through the design process, and
prepares work plans, cost estimates, and schedules for the various deliverables.
Build During the Developing (or the building) Phase, the team accomplishes most of
the building of SharePoint components including build documentation and test
plans. However, some configuration work might continue into the Stabilizing
Phase in response to testing.
Stabilize During the Stabilizing Phase, the team conducts testing on features that are
completed. Testing during this phase emphasizes usage and operation under
realistic environmental conditions. The team focuses on resolving and triaging
(prioritizing) bugs and preparing the solution for release.
Deploy During the Deploying Phase, the team deploys the core technology and site
components, stabilizes the deployment, transitions the project to operations and
support, and obtains final customer approval of the project. After the
deployment, the team conducts a project review and a customer satisfaction
survey.
