16. George Warren Brown (GWB) – at Washington University in St. Louis Customer Synopsis GWB is one of the countries top ranked schools of Social Work. With six concentration areas of study, as well as more than four hundred field work opportunities and six leading-edge research centers, the Brown Schools program attracts masters and doctoral students from around the world. Business Situation To continue to advance its position in the market for social work education and research the Brown School was looking for ways to create more strategic, integrated and audience-specific communications through a variety of channels, including web and print. Solution After evaluating several technical solutions, GWB and TOKY chose to partner with Oakwood Systems Group, who deployed a state-of-the-art website developed with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Moss incorporated all of the design elements provided by TOKY. One of the most interesting aspects to the site is that it doesnt look anything like a typical SharePoint site, according to Oakwood's lead architect on the project, yet it contains all of the flexibility that people familiar with SharePoint would expect.

17. Mary Kay Global Customer Synopsis Mary Kay Global works through a 1.6 million-strong network of independent representatives to sell more than $2.2 billion worth of cosmetics and skin care products annually. Business Situation Mary Kays custom intranet search technology was not providing adequate value for its corporate users, who had difficulty locating information in a timely manner. Few employees used the search function, relying instead on manual processes and individual knowledge to find the forms and information they needed. Solution Mary Kay implemented Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 on a 2-server farm, indexing the portal itself as well as downstream documents and information. Mary Kays IT department built a custom, streamlined user interface and configured Office SharePoint Server 2007 based on an extensive taxonomy review performed by another internal team.
