One of our customers, a CTO at a mid-sized manufacturing company, faced a familiar dilemma. Their SharePoint environment needed significant enhancements to meet evolving business requirements: better document filtering, integrated Teams collaboration, professional branding, and compliance tracking capabilities. The IT team received quotes from development firms ranging from $75,000 to $150,000 for custom SPFx solutions, with 6–9 month delivery timelines.
Meanwhile, daily productivity losses continued mounting. Employees spent excessive time hunting for documents, compliance tracking remained manual and error-prone, and the generic SharePoint interface failed to reflect the company's professional brand standards.
Today, that same CTO operates a fully enhanced SharePoint environment that addresses every identified business requirement at a fraction of the custom development cost and with immediate implementation.
Project Risk & Scope Creep — Custom projects carry uncertainty. Requirements shift, challenges emerge, and budgets overrun.
Extended Time-to-Value — Every month in development = another month of lost productivity. For a 50-person team wasting 30 min/day searching, that’s 650 hours/month (~$32,500) gone.
Technical Debt — Custom code needs ongoing maintenance to stay compatible and secure as SharePoint evolves.
Vendor Dependency — Relying on external firms for fixes, updates, and enhancements introduces long-term risk.
