Sharepoint Portal Manager

The main purpose of the app is its ability to synchronize SharePoint sites with other external enterprise systems. Through standard SQL INSERT entries into the central Portal Manager database an organization can create/update/delete sharepoint sites in unison with changes in, for example, a Student Information System or HR System.

The application is a NT Service that runs on one of the SharePoint application servers in the farm. It periodically (based on user configuration) pools the central database for synch commands and processes them as discovered.

Based on system integration with these other systems, when a student is enrolled, or class is created, or a new employee is hired or fired a site can be created or deleted. Site permissions can be updated as employee roles change, even when title or division or departmental assignment changes.

Features
