Where can I find IT partners that can manage SharePoint and Dynamics?
I'm looking for a partner to manage my SharePoint and Dynamics resources; the shell has been built by our existing vendor so it will be a hand off situation for a longer term management. Any ideas?
Hello Samantha,
If you have not found a place yet, I can give you an option. Go for Aufait Technologies since they offer almost all kind of SharePoint consulting services. I hope they can manage your SharePoint since they have many experts out there. I always recommend them for all kind of SharePoint related services since I am happy with the SharePoint intranet portal they have developed for my company.
We have a software development company in India. Currently, we have an employee strength of about 45 folks, in varied technologies - .NET, Java, PHP, HTML, UI design etc.
We did couple of projects from one of our Client Pen Groups. They outsourced 4 projects for us but, as everyone knows, if we have to grow and expand, we need find overseas clients.
Any advise? Any direction would be helpful.
Thanks
Ankith
Samantha, not sure if you find one such. The best place to find is https://pinpoint.microsoft.com
While selecting the partner, you may have to find the past work, customization that they have done.
Samantha,
My firm is a Microsoft Gold Partner, in the Sharepoint and Dynamics space. I would love to talk to you further about your requirements, and have actually dealt with similar transitional situations. Please reach out when you have a chance.
Samantha,
If looking locally try Craigslist but do check references.
Another option is join relevant LinkedIn groups.
You can post a "Job Discussion" within groups at no cost.
For a marginal fee (depending on options) you can use Indeed.
BTW - Probably cheaper to have this done remotely...Good Luck!

Are you looking for management of an on-premises deployment or hosted in the cloud? Intermedia is the major leader in cloud hosting of Exchange, SharePoint and (if you call) Dynamics CRM.
Suggest don't go with Intemedia go with Microsoft, but sounds like you are beyond this point. Sounds like current vendor is a Systems vendor and did the basics. You will need a SharePoint developer and Dynamics consulting. Both these packages require customizations especially as your business needs change.
To manage the platform your current vendor will do if they offer maintenance. This should include remote real time monitoring, and remediation with some onsite time for planning and physical remediation. Onsite if environment is stable should be minimal, if it's not the consultant(s) should suggest remedies to make it so.
Don't fall into the trap of heroic rescue, this is like fire fighting less is better. Plan well no fires.(if lots of heroism required firemen are creating the problem or management is by unwilling to fix)
SharePoint is easily done remote, Dynamics is not, it needs to be integrated into your business.
