Introduction
ASMPT, a leading global supplier of hardware and software solutions for the manufacture of semiconductors and electronics, collaborated with Verelogic IT Solutions to implement Verasti, a SharePoint site creation and configuration tool.
ASMPT faced challenges in standardising and creating multiple SharePoint sites, which required a standardised structure. These challenges included a significant time to deployment and human error due to performing complex and repetitive tasks.
Verelogic introduced Verasti to streamline the process, reduce manual effort, and enhance operational quality. This case study explores how Verasti helped the team at ASMPT to optimise their SharePoint provisioning process, significantly saving time and improving business workflows.

Challenge
ASMPT consistently has multiple ongoing projects, with the research and development teams working simultaneously on each project. As a result, the company needed an efficient, scalable, and standardised solution for creating SharePoint sites for sharing information across these multiple projects.
ASMPT’s SMT Solutions Segment faced challenges in creating multiple SharePoint sites simultaneously with identical structures. It took hours to develop sites manually since the company needed numerous sites with a very specific structure with various folders, content types and fields. There was also a risk of error, which could have led to inconsistencies in site structure and functionality. Lastly, the overall inefficiency through the repetitive process could lead to operational inefficiencies, distracting the IT department from other critical tasks.
These challenges hindered the team’s ability to rapidly spin up sites for multiple simultaneous projects, impacting the company’s agility and responsiveness.
To address these challenges, Verelogic introduced Verasti, its SharePoint site provisioning tool designed to automate the creation and configuration of SharePoint sites. Verasti helps businesses define precisely the lists, libraries, items, pages, web parts, and security needed for operational efficiency. The tool then creates and configures the site precisely as defined.
Implementation
The Verelogic team collaborated closely with ASMPT to fully understand their requirements, offering tools, demonstrations, and tailored solutions to ensure the tool seamlessly integrated into their workflow.
Once Verasti was selected as the solution to meet their requirements, ASMPT's IT team worked closely with Verelogic's support team to customise Verasti so that the tool would create and configure a site using a consistent, standard structure. Now, project sites can be built in just a few clicks rather than going through a lengthy manual process.
Post-deployment, the ASMPT team received extensive training and support, with Verelogic assisting with design changes and personalisation. Now, ASMPT has multiple site templates that can be created within minutes with just a couple of mouse clicks.
From ASMPT's IT team, Chris Southgate applauded Verelogic's prompt responses:
"The team was incredibly supportive. They were always quick to respond and always came back with good results. The team has given us quite a few tools and demonstrations and has been helpful. Requests for changes were always completed, and the team has gone above and beyond to get what we wanted."
Results and Impact
The introduction of Verasti significantly transformed ASMPT’s site creation process, delivering measurable benefits. Since its implementation, ASMPT has noticed significantly improved efficiency. It previously took several hours and 1000s of clicks to create a site. Now, it takes just a few clicks, reducing processing time. Integrating Verasti also made the system more user-friendly. This meant that other team members could be trained to use the tool without the risk of it being extremely technical, decreasing the margin for error.
Integrating Verasti allowed ASMPT to rapidly spin up multiple SharePoint sites to support concurrent R&D projects. It also enabled non-IT staff to handle administrative tasks related to site provisioning, freeing up IT resources for higher-value activities.
Security has also improved, where site access and permissions were accurately configured, safeguarding sensitive project data.
Conclusion
By partnering with Verelogic IT Solutions and adopting Verasti, ASMPT SMT Solutions overcame significant inefficiencies in its site provisioning process. Verasti saved time, reduced errors, and enhanced security and scalability, empowering ASMPT to focus on its core business operations.
This successful collaboration highlights the value of tailored IT solutions in streamlining complex processes.
For organisations seeking to optimise their workflows and reduce operational bottlenecks, Verelogic’s Verasti tool offers a proven, powerful solution.
