Is SharePoint a pain point?

It's simpler to use, less expensive and can have you up and running in no time, without the ongoing customization, maintenance or support issues. Don't have SharePoint? We can still help.

It's slow to deploy.

SharePoint requires highly trained staff and substantial lead times to roll out. It can take months to deploy SharePoint and even longer to move to a new version. In this day in age, you simply can no longer afford to wait that long for technology tools.

With Microsoft SharePoint

  

We're fast.

Igloo is in the cloud, which means you can be up and running in days instead of months or years. It also means software is updated for you. And with new releases every 90 days, you can be sure that you always have the latest features.

It's difficult to configure.

SharePoint doesn't quite work out-of-the-box. Experienced architects and developers are required to configure the application to meet your business needs. And with the heavy backlog of IT projects and the difficulty finding specialized talent, there are often delays in implementation.

With Microsoft SharePoint

  

We're easy.

When your business requirements change, your tools need to adapt - Igloo was built with this in mind. We created a drag-and-drop, widget-based interface, so end users can customize their views, their tools and their community, quickly and easily, without having to rely on IT.

It's costly.

SharePoint requires considerable investment in servers, software, licenses, maintenance and customization. In fact, it's estimated (by a Microsoft executive, no less) that for every $1 spent on licensing SharePoint, you pay an additional $6 for services to get it to do anything.

With Microsoft SharePoint

  

We're affordable.

Igloo is a SaaS application. There is nothing to install or maintain, and you don't have to deal with updates, patches or the maintenance of servers. And since the IT requirements are taken care of for you, your investments can be re-focused on your core business.

Users don't like it.

SharePoint's user interface is notoriously inadequate. Its complexity means slow adoption and low engagement by users. And it has relatively weak support for the most common Web 2.0 application types, such as social profiles, microblogging and activity streams.

With Microsoft SharePoint

  

They love us.

We believe that software can never be too easy to use. That giving employees tools they love to use leads to faster adoption, better engagement and increased productivity. When we ask our customers again and again why they chose Igloo, usability tops the list.

We can fix that.
