INSIDE SUMMARY A brand book is a guide that streamlines principles, benchmarks, ideas, and gives cadence to exactly how the Dock 365 should be represented.
*** Brief Introduction
01 BRAND OVERVIEW
Dock 365 Brand Guide
BRIEFLY ABOUT US As a trusted Microsoft SharePoint technology solution provider, we help customers realize their business goals and desired outcomes. By bringing together Microsoft SharePoint Portal solution as a product to maximize return on investment they made with Microsoft SharePoint. Dock is born out of our several years of experience in building intranet portals for large corporations. After developing the intranet portal for several years and many times, we saw a pattern where most of the intranet portal needs of the organizations where similar. We decided to package a solution which can be implemented in brief period instead of 6-8 months of development and deployment timeline. This also helped customers to have a solution in place and running shorter and without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. The other factor in developing the intranet solution was to make it available to a small and mid-size organization which was previously unaffordable for them. We have Dock intranet portal deployed to an organization with 10 employees to 5000 employees worldwide.
