What is SharePoint?

SharePoint addresses many business needs
Defining SharePoint
  • SharePoint is
  • A platform for collaboration.
  • The ability to design, deploy, and manage
    enterprise portals.
  • A way of searching for people and information.
  • A forum for enterprise content management.
  • The capability to streamline forms-driven
    business processes.
  • Business intelligence (BI) for every employee to
    make better decisions.

Why are Companies Implementing? (Benefits)
11
SharePoint brings a wide range of benefits
Benefits
  • Companies have reported that SharePoint benefits
    impact the company, the end users, and IT.
  • Companies of all sizes and industries have
    implemented SharePoint and reaped benefits.
  • SharePoints impact on an organization is most
    often defined as positive business value rather
    than pure cost savings.

SharePoint is more than just a platform. It
transforms the way IT and end users conduct their
daily work by enabling more efficient
communication and collaboration.

What are the Challenges? (How to Avoid Pitfalls)
13
Avoiding the Pitfalls
What challenges does SharePoint present?
  • Top Five Challenges
  • IT staff learning curve. With each successive
    version, SharePoint is becoming an increasingly
    complex solution, which makes it harder for IT to
    learn to use and manage it.
  • Site design. While portal solutions generally
    facilitate Web development, users sometimes find
    the structure restrictive, particularly in terms
    of look and feel. Enterprise users often have
    difficulty avoiding the SharePoint look.
  • Customization. In addition to design
    considerations, users can struggle with
    customization of SharePoint components such as
    templates, Web parts, and workflows.
  • Content organization. Some organizations regret
    having underestimated the planning phase prior to
    using SharePoint for content management. The
    challenge is in creating a logical, functional
    hierarchy for information that users will be able
    to navigate with relative ease.
  • End-user acceptance. Despite the widely reported
    benefits of SharePoints tools, some end-users
    are resistant to changing their work habits to
    adapt to a new solution. This problem can be
    particularly frustrating when SharePoint is used
    for collaboration and content management, but
    users persist in sending e-mail attachments to
    their teams.
