One of the most valuable features of SharePoint is its ability to function as a robust delivery platform of line of business applications. In most web-centric organizations, developers waste as much as 40% of their efforts writing supporting code - navigation, security, authentication, session management, and so on - that has little do with the actual features dictated by the business requirements. SharePoint changes that equation by providing all the base functionality required for delivering scalable and secure web applications right out of the box. An extensive API allows developers to leverage an existing code base and focus on business needs that deliver real value.

 

Many organizations struggle with the challenge of converting manual, paper-based processes into automated electronic systems. For some, the complexities are so great that only large, expensive, and cumbersome stand-alone document management systems are the only answer; but for others, the flexibility, extensibility, and affordability of SharePoint make for a far better solution. Based on numerous engagements working with clients to implement electronic data capture and presentation, BinaryWave has developed the innovative SmartForms™ framework which allows for rapid deployment of e-forms using the built-in document management and storage capabilities of the SharePoint platform. Easy to deploy, simple to manage and flexible enough to meet just about any requirement, SmartForms fills the gap between basic InfoPath forms and enterprise document management solutions.
