Initial situation
The customer processes data messages in Sharepoint 2010, which IXTENT customized with keys making it easier to perform certain operations that are not part of the standard system (such as sending messages, transferring tasks to certain persons or departments).
Philip Morris ČR a.s. also uses a functional extension of the system for user-friendly administration of data boxes – IXTENT ISDS Connector. This data mailbox connector is a comprehensive solution for receiving, sending, and managing messages in data mailboxes, as well as integrating them into enterprise information systems of all types. It provides you with full control over data mailbox messages, and there is no risk of a delay in their processing.
About the project
Philip Morris ČR a.s. decided to upgrade SharePoint to a newer supported version, specifically SharePoint 2013. The project was implemented without any complications between the end of January and start of February 2019.
I appreciated the professional work and direct communication with IXTENT during the project
