BH Technologies® Case Study

Staffing of 15 Contractor SharePoint Project Building SharePoint Delivery Center

Our client, a large automotive manufacturer, was paying for licenses on multiple technologies, for multiple years, and was looking to build a SharePoint delivery center and an international archive to host documents. We were asked to create a team of SharePoint SMEs with international experience.

Challenge

The client’s needs were very specific and SP 2010 was released only 9 months prior to the engagement, which made it extremely difficult to find solid candidates who possessed both hands-on skills with enterprise level SP 2010 and international experience. We needed to identify more than 15 SharePoint professionals consisting of architects, PMs, SMEs, and developers, and all candidates had to have internal experience and experience in SP 2010 at an enterprise level.

Solution

Our recruiting team was able to identify all the levels of candidates needed. We built SP groups, created forms, and worked “hands on” with all of the SP networks. We were able to meet our client’s demands and filled all the positions. Our contractors were on assignment for more than 12 months and more than half were converted to full-time employees.

The Results

We were able to successfully place over 15 SharePoint professionals and help them stand-up and launch the delivery center. Our client completed the project and its objectives on time and within budget. Most of the team members we placed are still employed with the client today and the managers at the client specifically requested us to be an ongoing specialty supplier as a Tier 1.
