Some background first

We have dedicated Web pages to address our Core Infrastructure, SharePoint, and Unified Communications offerings. Each of these pages features a case study that describes how these technologies have made a difference for clients. However, it's important in any development situation we encounter at Denali that we apply an effective approach. That's what we'll cover next: how we work with you to craft the most fitting solution with the right technology.

What drives our customers to seek solutions

In this day and age businesses can't afford to be behind the curve when it comes to technology operations. It is becoming cost and time prohibitive to find solutions to technology problems. More and more companies are finding it difficult to accomplish technology tasks in-house that will assist in making the company more profitable. Internal teams are overworked and not always available to find the best solution.

How we're able to solve the problem

Denali has the technological expertise for implementing custom business applications and software development that addresses all critical requirements of mid-large businesses including:

• Role-based content display both from the Internet and Intranet
• Optimization of intensive business processes
• Integration of a variety of systems within and outside the company
• Software and network security

We start with requirements

Our process for development is second-to-none and our highly-trained Consultants provide expert level solutions. Our project managers and developers will guide you through the development process to find the best solution for your business needs. Denali Consultants will work with you to define your vision of a future solution so your project will succeed.

In working with your team, we will identify the details of the business challenge up-front and make sure everyone agrees what the actual issues entail. After that, we communicate the details of all recognized requirements and specify them in well-structured documentation. Our knowledge of business and quality analysis ensures that you get exactly what you need at the end of the project.

On time and on-budget

Denali projects are delivered through an integrated program of Agile project management and a complimentary suite of tools and best practices. Heavy emphasis is put on the project communication. The project team collaborates with you at the beginning of the project to set up a communications plan, which will give you:

• Transparency into the progress of the project at all times
• Clear project scope
• Effective control over the project flow
• Predictable deliverables at each phase of project
• Project risk reduction

Onto design and development

Denali's expertise in custom software development, UI design, and custom business application development creates secure, reliable and consistent results. Our experience comes from a multitude of projects with a variety of organizations. Because we are a Microsoft-certified Gold Partner, we have the skilled technical expertise with the intelligence and experience necessary to back your needs.

Shared services approach

The service model Denali calls Shared Services provides the most cost-effective approach possible. Based on the project requirements, Denali provides technical expertise on an as-needed basis. For each type of technical capability required on a project, we provide the technical staff for the right amount of time. There is no need to pay for full time expertise when you only need it part time on a project. This approach brings a wide variety of Microsoft experts with minimum impact to project budgets.

Our Shared Services Solution capabilities include:

• Out-of-the-box solutions and configuration
• Custom solution development
• Technical architecture and design
• Site administration and support
• Portal design and development
• Information and technology architecture
• User experience design
• Forms and workflow

• Advanced architecture for SharePoint server farms
• Design and deployment of new SharePoint platforms
• SharePoint migration
• System and data integration
