This article aims to solve a common challenge when creating solutions in SharePoint. We discuss how to deliver a solution built in SharePoint to end users and critical team members, as well as exploring how we can personalize the SharePoint user experience for staff and team managers by using SharePoint and OnePlaceLive.

Each article in this series takes an in-depth look at a single realistic business scenario and how to apply OnePlaceLive to overcome the key challenges faced. The scenario for this article is a project centric engineering company where projects are carried out for external customers and projects typically run for several months to several years in duration. The information architecture for this system is a single site collection with a subsite per project.

Solution Profiles provide an intelligent way to look at SharePoint from the perspective of the different business systems (or solutions as we like to call them) that have been built in SharePoint (e.g. Project Management, Legal Matter Management, HR Business Processes, Helpdesk) and to dynamically identify the different SharePoint artefacts that make up those systems (e.g. site collections, sites, lists, libraries, document sets, folders, content).
