We were spending a lot of development dollars, but things still weren’t how we wanted and every day wasted was a day closer to our deadline.
ShortPoint has enabled us to create internal SharePoint sites that are user-friendly and attractive for our multi-generational group of Associates.
Before using ShortPoint, I’d never have expected that a small team such as ours could deliver a product that looks as good as our portal does today.
ShortPoint reduced the time it took to rebuild our intranet from 3 months to just 2 weeks. It really is a must-have for every company that uses SharePoint.
Building and customizing sites in SharePoint was a very heavy lift. We needed a developer on every project and it felt like we were always doing things the hard way.
I had no idea intranet consultancy would become so big for us! And none of it would have been possible without ShortPoint’s incredible software and support team.
It was hard to find solutions to beautify customers’ SharePoint installations and give customers a visual impression of how a new intranet could look.
Thanks to ShortPoint, the intranet isn’t a pain point for us anymore. I couldn’t put a price on how much happier we are working with ShortPoint as opposed to our previous vendor.
Working with ShortPoint was one of the smoothest projects I’ve ever been involved in. What they created for us is fantastic, and we never felt an ounce of stress.
