With apologies to Jessica and Nick, Brad and Jennifer, and Elizabeth and, well, just about everyone else, marriage can work.

We prove it every day.

Many people are familiar with Excel, Word, Outlook and other products in Microsoft's extensive Office suite. But what most don't realize is the power that's at their fingertips when those products are integrated with one another and with Microsoft's SharePoint software.

Microsoft has virtually married Office and SharePoint, and it wasn't by accident. Together, the two can create a powerful, easy-to-use way for companies to simply and accurately manage, organize and share information in virtually any format, including documents, e-mail, instant messages, Web pages and videos.

Think about it. Countless employees in any company create, update and manipulate data, documents and e-mail on a daily basis, often with Excel, Word and Outlook.

But their work is often segmented. They plug away on their own, creating new documents and saving multiple versions of existing ones, building complicated sets of interconnected Excel sheets and Word documents and making it hard to share a single version of "the truth." And they do the work manually, cutting and pasting information from one spreadsheet into another or generating faxes and e-mail by hand.

These Office products were meant to automate and simplify, and at Captaré, we can help you do just that. We're unique in that while we can ultimately migrate you to Access, SQL Server and SharePoint solutions, we approach document management first from an Office standpoint. We can help you use more than the 10 to 15 percent or so of Office functionality you're likely tapping into now. We'll automate manual processes and integrate services, cutting processes from hours to minutes, and we'll do it with the tools you already have.

Once we get more mileage out of your Office programs, we can then help transition you to SharePoint or other enterprisewide solutions. And even if you don't have Office now, we can provide the SharePoint tools that will take advantage of Office functionality.

Say goodbye to the old and cumbersome way of doing work.

This is one divorce whose time has come.
