The SharePoint My Site is a single page portal that contains a user’s personal information, documents, sites, links tasks, etc. My Site consists of both a public and private view. The private view is intended as a personal workplace for the individual end user. The public view, on the other hand, acts like a business card that can be accessed by other portal users.
With corporate IT spending a significant amount of time catering to virtually countless change password, reset password, change profile detail type of requests on a daily basis, it’s naturally a significant concern as far as optimal resource utilisation and ground up business efficiencies are concerned. To address this specific business need, we provide self service user profile management solutions in the form of My Site customisation in SharePoint, allowing users to manage their profiles in a comprehensive manner with minimal dependence on IT.
Where electronic forms and workflows are being used, links to forms and workflow tasks can be surfaced into the employee’s My Site. Dashboards can also be targeted to specific groups of users through the My Site. This type of functionality creates a ‘one stop shop’ where the employee can go to view relevant real time information, submit new forms, initiate new business processes and complete workflow tasks.
