Northridge proudly announces the initiation of more than a dozen major Microsoft SharePoint 2010® implementations for enterprise clients across North America.

Northridge follows a proven, comprehensive business consulting approach to planning and implementing SharePoint 2010, called Navigate™, which leverages the Northridge True North Methodology™, experience, and best practices. Utilizing the Navigate approach, Northridge drives the success of the client engagement, while increasing the SharePoint implementation velocity and adoption to deliver faster business benefit.

Launched on May 12, 2010, SharePoint 2010 is the business collaboration platform for the Enterprise. Providing a unique set of capabilities, unified within a single infrastructure, SharePoint 2010 connects and empowers users to share information, whether that information sits within corporate boundaries (behind the firewall) or resides on a company’s extranet or customer-facing websites (in front of the firewall).

This feature-rich unified business platform is already one of Microsoft’s biggest success stories. According to a recent Forrester Research survey, 78% of firms say they support SharePoint, and half say they will upgrade to SharePoint 2010 within the next year.

"This is one of the most rapid adoptions of a major Microsoft release that we have ever seen," commented Rob Patten, CEO of Northridge. "SharePoint 2010 is truly an enterprise-class unified business platform for the development and delivery of Intranet, Extranet, and Internet solutions that provide meaningful business value to organizations of all sizes."
