CHATTANOOTA, Tennessee -- Lattimore, Black, Morgan and Cain received the coveted Internal Technology Innovation award at the Annual Leading Edge Alliance Conference in Boston. LBMC recognized the need for a communication tool that allows information to be shared across the LBMC family of companies in three Tennessee offices.  The Microsoft tool, SharePoint, was implemented so that organizational departments could utilize this interactive platform for sharing information and working in teams therefore providing a centralized location for day-to-day information. “This award represents hard work and collaboration across the organization and is a testimony of our innovative approach to solving problems and enhancing opportunities for our clients, both internal and external,” said Leisa Gill, LBMC marketing director.

LBMC recognized the need for a communication tool that allowed information to be shared across The LBMC Family of Companies in three Tennessee offices.  The Microsoft Tool called SharePoint, was implemented so that organizational departments could utilize this interactive platform for sharing information and working in teams therefore providing a centralized location for day-to-day information.  LBMC Technologies, a member of the LBMC Family of Companies, and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, worked alongside LBMC’s internal technology department on the infrastructure of SharePoint to meet the needs of the organization from both a business and technology perspective.  Today, this tool has become an intrical part of how LBMC operates daily.  Groups and departments continue to find more ways to use SharePoint as a communication tool, meeting preparation, and to answer general questions.

Recent new additions include sections on training, reporting and employee classifieds.  New sections and tools are being continuously added and employees have found the tool to be their first ‘go to’ place for departmental, practice and general LBMC information.  The tool will continue to evolve and grow with LBMC.
