UNDP
Posted: 06/18/2008
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is pledged to help cut poverty in half by 2015. To help achieve this important strategic goal, it needed to improve collaboration among its country offices in Asia Pacific. The agency relied primarily on e-mail messages for communication between offices, and network storage for sharing information. To increase its collaborative capability, UNDP deployed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 together with Windows Server 2003 R2, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2004. This solution delivers a secure collaboration platform from UNDP Asia Pacific regional centres in Colombo, Suva, and Bangkok, with reliable access to country offices and NGOs across the region. The agency is increasing its staff efficiency by creating, sharing, and re-using information across the whole region.
