I caught up with SharePoint 911 at SPTechCon today and had an opportunity to meet with (L to R) Shane Young, Jennifer Mason, Randy Drisgill and Ryan Keller to talk about their company's value proposition by getting a story about a specific use case.
As it turns out, SharePoint 911 just finished a client engagement with Boulder Valley School District to help them deploy their SharePoint site to the school community. (Check out Bamboo Mini-Calendar on the front page of their site!) The school district wanted to roll up multiple calendars from each school into one master calendar and SharePoint out of the box wasn't enough to support all of the functionality the school district wanted. With Bamboo List Rollup, Calendar Plus and some consulting and training from SharePoint 911, the district was on its' way to earning an 'A' in SharePoint deployment.
The school district itself was a Web application, and each school was a site collection. Then within each school, each teacher is using a calendar to communicate events and activities in a form that will allow that information to be rolled up and synched with what the other teachers in the district are doing. Parents and community members are allowed different levels of access to the calendars, and some calendars are restricted to internal use only.
Just another great example of a partner putting Bamboo in their solution!
