Babcock has approximately 26,000 SharePoint users, and 40 terabytes of data is stored on SharePoint. The process of email and document classification was very difficult for employees, especially for bulk uploading. This is where harmon.ie came to the rescue.

Summary

As part of their move to SharePoint, harmon.ie was selected to drive SharePoint adoption and to alleviate the classification challenges. The advantages of using harmon.ie at Babcock include the following:

• Bulk uploads and classification – harmon.ie solves the difficulties of bulk uploading documents and emails, and classifying all items at once.
• Sending links instead of email attachments - a side benefit of the SharePoint solution is that Babcock sees a reduction in documents sent as email attachments. This not only decreases data volume, it also prevents document versioning chaos.
• Simple interface to SharePoint – with harmon.ie, users search for SharePoint content through the harmon.ie Outlook add-on and open and modify documents directly through Outlook.
