Failing to manage information in a time of unprecedented economic challenges puts financial services firms at risk. In the face of market turbulence, economic uncertainty, increased competition, data security concerns, and more stringent regulatory and compliance issues, the firms that succeed are the ones embracing the hosted Microsoft SharePoint 2010 platform.

Why?  With hosted Microsoft SharePoint 2010, smart financial services firms overcome technical and procedural challenges to master information governance now and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The proven power of hosted SharePoint 2010 leverages business intelligence and state-of-the-art business tools in a way that safely and cost-effectively facilitates company-wide collaboration, streamlines workflow and organizes digital assets—all without sacrificing compliance, security or attention to detail in handling customer data and sensitive information.

Automating secure processes ensures strict compliance and the highest levels of optimization.  Financial services firms know that their hosted SharePoint 2010 provides the stability and reliability they need as information flows through the organization.

Hosted SharePoint Improves Information Access, Saving Time and Money

Financial services firms manage mounds of burdensome paper daily – application forms, contracts, client correspondence, regulatory and compliance reports.  If the information flow isn’t managed with precision, the result will be unwieldy, unreliable processes that increase operational costs such as employee overhead, paper file storage fees and information retrieval.

To prosper in this highly regulated, competitive industry, financial services companies need effective ways to manage their paperwork securely, efficiently and cost-effectively.  With hosted SharePoint 2010 tools and workflow support, you can meet stringent compliance efforts, minimize risk, and manage documents for electronic discovery purposes.

AIS Network can work with you to customize the hosting plan you choose and integrate your back-office systems.  Some of the many features that hosted SharePoint 2010 delivers include:

• Automated workflows boost staff productivity — especially useful for document review and approval, issue tracking, reporting and signature collection across branch locations.
• A simple, consistent user experience integrates with email, Web browsers and other familiar client applications, enabling better information sharing.
• Scalable document libraries handle millions of documents without difficulty and feature easy access to records management, tagging and rating capabilities.
• Search with FAST capability, including the ability to preview thumbnail images, enables reliable and quick searching across all client documents and content, saving considerable time and money.
• Live, interactive business intelligence portals assemble and display mission-critical information from disparate sources, replacing the need for inefficient microfiche systems.
• Comprehensive control over content, including retention and auditing policies for sensitive business records, meets regulatory requirements, enhancing security and reducing litigation risk.
• Easy-to-use tools to manage Web site content, approvals and scheduled deployment.
• Enterprise social networking for internal use connects staff with information and expertise – encouraging professional development and sharing of intellectual resources.
