Barleans launches SharePoint 2013 with SimpleSharepoint and zero downtime

Barleans, a renowned manufacturer of organic products, faced the challenge of modernizing from an outdated SharePoint 2007 portal and an external cloud BI service. They needed to develop a cutting-edge, internal business intelligence system within SharePoint 2013 with zero business downtime. The vendor, SimpleSharepoint, was engaged to handle this migration and integration.

SimpleSharepoint established a new cloud-based SharePoint 2013 farm, executing a seamless migration with zero downtime. They implemented the full SQL BI stack, including Excel Calculation Services and Power Pivot, to create interactive dashboards within SharePoint. The results included substantial cost savings from bringing BI in-house, enhanced real-time BI capabilities, a modernized user interface, and smooth user adoption, with stakeholders praising the cohesive new branding and functionality.
