Think you can’t afford custom development for your SharePoint environment? Think again!
I met with a local gentleman last week whose company, BPFast LLC, does SharePoint Development. Their tagline is: The Fastest Way to Business Process Automation. It’s the perfect description of what they’re all about. Providing targeted SharePoint solutions in a shorter amount of time than you would expect, AND for a lower cost than you would expect. What a great combination!
What they do (excerpt taken from their website): We specialize in applying out-of-the-box features of Microsoft Office 2007 and SharePoint to meet your goals. This approach helps reduce the cost of creating your solutions. We quickly build business solutions by configuring SharePoint and Office.
What I really like about them and what makes them stand out from the crowd is that they focus on smaller development projects that REALLY utilize the integration between the Office 2007 products and SharePoint to bring Reporting, Workflow, Electronic Forms, etc. to the table for a fraction of what you would normally expect to pay for a SharePoint development project.  Perfect for small to medium sized businesses where their development budgets are tighter than a large or Fortune 500 company.Â
To see an example of what combining a Microsoft Office application and SharePoint can offer, check out a whitepaper they wrote called Access 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Integration
Check them out at www.bpfast.com. Don’t be fooled by the fact they they focus on smaller development projects. One of the owners, Cliff, is a SharePoint architect with 20 years of consulting experience. Their dedication to helping small businesses is quite admirable.
They could take you or your client’s SharePoint usage to the next level and make it an even more powerful tool than it already is.
I’ll be posting an interview and demo at my podcast site (once I record them), so be sure you’re subscribed there as well.
