Lasell College

Lasell College faced several challenges with their existing SharePoint 2007 site, which was outdated and cluttered with undocumented features and deprecated Fab 40 templates. A critical requirement was to upgrade and rebrand the SharePoint site while integrating Moodle seamlessly into the system, overcoming existing security issues. Additionally, the project involved collaboration with a new SharePoint administrator who was not only new to SharePoint but also a non-native English speaker.

Our team developed and migrated to a new SharePoint 2010 farm, upgrading all 2007 databases. We engaged in extensive collaboration with Lasell’s SharePoint administrator, providing interactive training sessions to enhance his understanding and proficiency with the platform. Through persistent efforts and collaboration with Moodle’s technical support, we resolved integration issues and developed a security integration bridge to ensure seamless functionality.

The rebranding initiative required meticulous attention to detail to meet the exacting standards of the college. Despite some challenges inherent to SharePoint’s capabilities, our team successfully met all branding requirements, creating a modern and user-friendly interface.

The revamped portal was launched on schedule, ahead of the semester’s start, and was met with enthusiastic approval from the college community. The new SharePoint site, featuring integrated Moodle functionality and a refreshed brand identity, significantly enhanced the student and faculty experience. The project not only revitalized the college’s educational platform but also streamlined administrative processes, setting a new standard for academic collaboration and management at Lasell College.
