Ambient Office

We at JBS build upon our development achievements and know-how with our “User Experience Approach” to make the most of the functionality and performance of Microsoft products, with a central focus on SharePoint Server, bringing you solutions that maximize the value of your user experience.
While the products presented below are, of course, available as stand-alone solutions, we offer suggestions and supply our customers with optimal combinations of integrative solutions, based on your requirements.

We offer optimal communication and information-sharing infrastructure, cutting costs and reducing deployment time in comparison to developing from scratch, by combining products that match your needs.

JBS is a Microsoft Certified Licensing Solution Partner (LSP). Please feel free to contact us about the purchase of Microsoft licenses!

■What is a Licensing Solution Partner?
Of Microsoft’s Volume Licensing products, Microsoft Select Plus, Microsoft Select, Microsoft Enterprise Agreement, and the Get Genuine Windows Agreement (GGWA-LO) can be purchased from Licensing Solution Partners (LSP’s). LSPs offer services that allow businesses to simply deploy and put their software to use on a large scale – providing technical assistance and support for the smooth execution of contractual matters, making arrangements for the purchase of user manuals, and more.

Ambient Office solutions utilize the following process to build services and systems that maximize the value of your organization’s information workers.
While of course all of the above products are offered as standalone solutions, we leverage our extensive track record in deploying Microsoft solutions to bring you the most suitable combination of systems to go along with your business needs.

• Conduct log analyses, surveys and interviews, rendering visual results of the analysis.
• Derive a direction for improvement based on the analysis results.
• Give a concrete, concise definition of why the system is being developed to go along with the direction for improvement.

*Note: Log analyses are only conducted for clients who already have a SharePoint Server

• Survey of the Business → Clarify the “As is” state and scope of the project.
• Uncover the “way it should be” (the “To be” state) and present specific solutions.
• Visualize: “People/Goals” & “Actions/Information”. Simulate your business in “persona” and analyze it using theories on the thought processes and behaviors of knowledge workers, defining the service, information, recipient, timing, etc.
