Gig Werks, is expert on the topic of business productivity infrastructure optimization.  Its goals,  goes to the heart of the founding of our firm and its tenants are  central to all the solutions we offer to our clients.   BPIO is a model and a methodology to guide companies to deploy IT as a coherent, connected solution, rather than as a reactive deployment of discrete products.  This methodology serves to ensure maximum value and ease of use for end users while achieving the lowest total cost of ownership.

Microsoft now has a comprehensive vision for integrating a number of key elements within the enterprise and a few products to support it. The vision, or framework, incorporates Business Intelligence, enterprise content management (ECM) and "Unified Communication and Collaboration". In essence, BPIO helps businesses define their structures such that Microsoft can support them. The first major product in the BPIO model: Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007.

Our Expertise in the BPIO model, delivers:

• Enhanced business decision making. By aggregating and contextualizing business services and information via SharePoint 2007, business decision makers gain more accurate and more comprehensive information.
• Greater employee productivity. By providing streamlined access to systems and information and enabling business process improvement, businesses can drive greater employee productivity with BPIO. Employees can focus their energies on addressing the important, value-adding processes and on collaborative, semi-structured activities, rather than spending time moving through silos of information and having to conform to the limitations and restrictions of the underlying IT systems.
• Minimized IT Footprint.  Selection of systems is based upon full exploitation of the capabilities of adopted technology and the interoperability of these systems across the enterprise.  This process reduces IT’s foot print and ultimate Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
