Business Solution Set

The Business Solution Set of the CorasWorks Workplace Suite is comprised of four categories of business solutions:

  • Project-Based - These range from simple team sites where members of a project team share information to enterprise-wide solutions which span across divisions and departments and may include an integrated set of processes.

  • Line of Business - These are traditional business solutions - that are often transactional in nature - and are used during a specific business function within an organization.

  • Departmental - These are general business solutions used to address functions that are common across departments and some that are specific to a department.

  • Business Processes - These solutions demonstrate different ways that you can create business processes across your workplace.

The Business Solution Set has been categorized to make it easier to guide you to the appropriate elements of the Solution Set based upon what you are looking to accomplish. This categorization also allows us to put the solutions into a context, such as how to design and build project-oriented solutions.

Highlighted Solutions

The "Featured" solutions in the table below are those solutions that demonstrate our capabilities on the SharePoint 2007 platform.  Most of these same solutions are available on the SharePoint 2003 platform as well.  Those solutions identified as "New to SharePoint 2003" leverage the capabilities of our newest release for the SharePoint 2003 platform.  In general, the highlighted solutions demonstrate the more advanced feature set for both SharePoint platforms and tend to address more complex scenarios.

We have added data to the featured solutions and users are given “read only” access in the showroom. However, what you experience in these solutions can be quickly and easily deployed in your own environment.

Using the Solutions

  • Use them as is - install them and use them

  • Customize them to meet your needs - it is easy to change the solutions

  • Re-Use Parts of Them - most of the solutions are configured components (web parts) that can be snapped off and re-used

  • Learn design from the category set - each category is designed to give you a range of solutions to learn from so that you can design your own

  • Extend the solutions - you can extend the solutions to create distributed applications. For more information on this, see Distributed Applications - Internal Help Desk. Here we show you how the Help Desk solution is extended to to create an application that spans the workplace.

  • Create Departmental Workplaces - you can inter-connect any of these solutions to create a seamless workplace. For more information on this, see Departmental Workplaces - IT Department Workplace. In this example we use 7 of the solutions from different categories to create an integrated, connected workplace for an IT Department.
