Services: Microsoft SharePoint
Jyoti is a leading manufacturer, supplier, and global exporter of a wide range of CNC machines and allied equipment.
As a reputed and accomplished organization, it was imperative that Jyoti ensured its products were of premium quality and delivered maximum satisfaction and utility to customers.

Jyoti wanted to engage with a technology partner to help integrate SharePoint with their enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, SAP, to combine the collaborative and ready-to-use capabilities of SharePoint with the business data and processes of SAP.
