State Bank & Trust: SharePoint-Innotas Integration Project

Project Details

Problem:

• Innotas is an online PPM (project portfolio management) tool used by State Bank & Trust.
• Innotas bills State Bank for every user account.
• A lot of State Bank employees do not need to use all features of Innotas, just need to know the status of ongoing IT projects related to them; it's not economical for State Bank to purchase licenses for them.

Resources:

• State Bank has a SharePoint server to which all employees have access.
• State Bank's Innotas license permits use of its API to access its data.

Solution:

• Create SharePoint web parts that retrieve data from Innotas using its API and show a given ongoing IT project's status.

Details:

• Three web parts, one each for a project's
• Health Overview
• Issues/Risks
• Milestones
• A web part property will allow changing the ID of the project whose status has to be retrieved.
