Executive Summary

How about developing a portal wherein healthcare professionals especially neonatal nurses nationally and internationally could share knowledge, ideas and experiences with each other? This is something that one of our clients from the Healthcare industry in Canada thought of. He wanted this group of professionals to participate in provincial, federal and international health care decision making and policy development regarding the care of newborns and their families through different events.

He had the idea ready but, was in search for a reliable development partner who could convert his dream into reality. He came across Mindfire Solutions and shared his idea. Within no time Mindfire was able to prepare a proposal for the client, suggesting him to develop the portal using SharePoint 2007. The client was happy to see the professionalism in Mindfire’s approach and also agreed to begin development work after going through the proposal.

Business Situation

This client of ours had an idea to develop a portal for neonatal nurses to collaborate among themselves as well as other healthcare providers both nationally and internationally to gather and share information regarding healthcare decision making, policy development and care of newborns. The portal was also meant for promoting knowledge translation for effective and innovative approach to neonatal nursing practice and changes in health policy. Registered users would be allowed to share knowledge, experiences and ideas with other health care providers both nationally and internationally. The idea was to develop two different zones, one for the admin for administrative tasks and & content management on different pages and the later used by the external users (nurses).

Beyond the basic specifications sent by the client, he had some other additional features to be incorporated while developing the portal. The tasks were plenty and the time period was less yet, Mindfire’s offshore SharePoint team took the challenge of developing the portal using SharePoint 2007 and delivered it within the time frame discussed.
