SDPS: A Microsoft Software Assurance Benefit

Overview

Microsoft created a scheme called SDPS to assist organisations to deploy their SharePoint solutions. Simply put, Microsoft will fund the expertise required to deploy or enhance a SharePoint system correctly. ISC is among the select group of partners qualified to deliver SDPS in the UK and Ireland.

ISC will also explain how we worked with other clients to deliver successful solutions.

Why is Microsoft funding this consulting?

SharePoint is a product with a vast array of features that requires specialist skills to implement properly. Microsoft are aware that most organisations would not have these skills in house. To ensure SharePoint is deployed correctly and increase satisfaction amongst its clients, Microsoft created SDPS.

Save even more

At every engagement, we always identify areas where work can be done in house without the need for specialist expertise. Much of the time the client is just not aware. ISC deploy SharePoint solutions every day and know the product inside out and can simply show you how to do it!
