SMS integration with SharePoint

As part of my Code|Influence projects, I embarked on developing and copyrighted an SMS powered application, that would receive text messages in form of SMS perform various types of functions based on the SMS content, and reply back to the sender the results via SMS.

With the SharePoint passion in me, I then went further to see how this would work with SharePoint. With a proof-of-concept done, I finally can perform various SharePoint functions e.g create list items, kick off workflows, search etc...all via SMS.

The good thing to note is that this SMS application's various operations that it can perform are so unlimited, including those outside the SharePoint world. For now, I will end here. Enjoy!

When the call is resolved, the user again automatically gets notified by the system with a mail giving them description of the problem they logged and also how it has been resolved.

How to implement a SharePoint "Change Management Process"

Not so much from the technical point of view, SharePoint Change Management is the process of monitoring and controlling changes within a SharePoint project.
