Case Study: a large retailer integrates employee portals with MAQ Software

Large Retailer - Customer Case Study

MAQ Software was engaged by a large retailer to address a significant challenge. The retailer needed to integrate two separate SharePoint portals and incorporate existing third-party applications without increasing costs or resource usage. A key issue was that thousands of employees at licensee-owned stores lacked access to the main employee portal, hindering their onboarding and training processes while the client wanted to maintain a distinct portal for its full-time employees.

To solve this, MAQ Software first cloned the existing portal but then generalized the underlying logic to run both portals from a single codebase, increasing efficiency. Despite challenges presented by the immense scale of the client's SharePoint farms, MAQ Software implemented a thorough and patient approach to development and bug fixes, ensuring minimal downtime for thousands of users. The solution successfully allowed the client to simultaneously release information to both employee groups, proving MAQ Software's technical capability and delivering a reliable, integrated portal system.
