Challenge
To facilitate mutual collaboration among its various offices, the ITUC looked for a way to manage its infor-mation more effectively, exchange data more efficient-ly, and find documents more quickly. The solution had to be reasonably priced and easy to integrate within the existing IT infrastructure.
Solution
ICT partner Orbit One presented SharePoint 2010 and, with an internal workgroup, determined the overall structure of the new portal. Two specific pilot projects with a beta version indicate that SharePoint 2010 is the ideal solution for more effective information manage-ment and better collaboration.
