Easily Choosing Someone For Your Sharepoint Team

Step 1: See the past of the consultant you are supposed to hire. After that, ask around if you can get a conference call with the consultant. Do this before you make your final decision. After that, you can go ahead and meet the consultant. Question them about their past experience. It is also smart if they offer you a reference customer.

Step 2: Your team should meet the consultant in order to asses his/her ability. Take a step further and call your IT manager to ask about the consultant and their history with active directory, SQL, and Windows Server. These applications are crucial for the development of SharePoint.

Step 3: Now we get to the most important step. Get them to tell you their suggestion for your business after the project is completed. They can ask you for your personal goals. If they do, answer these questions in detail. Survey your business users for their input before you make this call. Once you know exactly what the users need, implementation becomes easier. With these questions, you will see at what extent is the consultant experienced with SharePoint. Some consultants will manufacture things that are already included in the box because they never learned proper usage.

Step 4: After you find the right consulting team, evaluate them based on your company culture. Look at it as if you actually hired that team full-time. See if you can deal with the team not fitting your company culture. Don’t forget that this team is going to have to work hard with your IT team and your business user team to get the requirements. Remember that you need this process for maximum efficiency. That’s very important.
