Case Study: Brocade puts SharePoint to the test

Brocade Communications Systems, a company specializing in data center networking solutions, needed to deliver corporate information to employees in a centralized manner. Content was difficult to locate because it was spread across disparate storage systems and locations. With help from EMC Corporation, Brocade implemented a new intranet based on Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 to give employees better access to corporate data and enhanced collaboration tools. Employees now have the tools they need to contribute to the company more effectively. They have better access to information resources, and intranet use has more than doubled. Brocade employees also improve efficiency by using automated workflow processes and templates to manage projects. Finally, calls to the company’s help desk have decreased by 30 percent because employees can find and use information more easily.
