Spun-off Company Achieves Quick Success with Gimmal and SharePoint
Business Needs

Neither system fit the goals of the new company, as they were unjustifiably costly and considerably outdated. This new organization had no IT infrastructure in place to carry out that task. The new company had to build an entirely new IT infrastructure from scratch, and faced considerable vulnerability throughout the lengthy process. The members of the organization were familiar with SharePoint, and believed it to be a ready replacement for FileNet. They retained SAP and SharePoint as the ERP system and content repository for the new organization. And then they approached Gimmal to help them achieve their vision

- Build new IT infrastructure after divestiture from parent company
