European IT & Software Excellence Awards Winners Announced

LONDON, April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

The European IT & Software Excellence Awards winners have been announced, highlighting the most innovative and very best IT solutions delivered over the course of the last year. The winners of these prestigious awards entered from over 32 countries, and represent the very best in enterprise software solutions.

Amongst this year's winners is Microsoft Gold Partner BrightStarr for their delivery of Linklaters' new SharePoint 2013 Intranet, in the category of Best Storage/Information Management solution of the Year. Will Saville, CEO, BrightStarr stated "It's amazing to have such a great project recognised by the wider IT community through the Europa IT & Software Excellence Awards. Working with Linklaters on their new SharePoint 2013 Intranet was really brilliant because we not only had a great cultural fit with their organisation, but we shared an understanding that the perfect balance of form and function is what would really drives solution adoption and success."

Linklaters' Intranet was focused on helping their business to more effectively manage the vast amounts of knowledge that the business needs to operate effectively. This meant making knowledge more findable for Linklaters' staff in order to improve business productivity. Linklaters decided to utilise SharePoint for their new Intranet solution and built upon powerful native SharePoint 2013 search functionality to make content more easily accessible for users.

They underpinned their new solution with a new unified global taxonomy for tagging content for categorisation and greater efficiency. This was further supplemented by a significant content refresh and clean out during the migration process. The result of this investment in their knowledge management platform is an organisation empowered with access to trusted knowledge; essential for a business operating in such a highly knowledge driven market.
