Overview Skanska, a Fortune Global 500 company, is one of the world's leading construction companies. One of its United States business units, Skanska USA Building Inc., is the third largest builder in the U.S. To facilitate efficient collaboration, Skanska needed to give external and internal project teams access to timely, reliable information, while maintaining the scalability and flexibility to handle more than 1,500 active projects with budgets ranging from U.S.$15 million to $1 billion. In 2004, Skanska used Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to develop internal and external collaboration portals. In 2007, the company deployed Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to scale its collaboration portals for larger, more complex projects, improve change management processes, save time, reduce costs, and improve coordination with clients, subcontractors, and other project partners.
