Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 helps organisations get more done by providing a platform for sharing information and working together in teams, communities and people-driven processes. Office SharePoint Server is an important part of the overall Microsoft vision and integrates with other collaborative products to offer a comprehensive infrastructure for working with others.
Ushering in a new era of operational platform, this technology will enable a new generation of capabilities for information workers - but without a partner with the experience and expertise to manage an implementation effectively, the full potential of SharePoint may not be reaslised.
Technical Failure
While SharePoint is technically straightforward to install with its base functionality, many organisations fail to take the next crucial step to reap all the benefits. Poor information architecture and the wrong technical decisions in the early stages can prevent companies who ‘go it alone’ from achieving any real ROI - this takes a partner with greater technical knowledge and experience.
Project Failure
Organisations who implement SharePoint internally will often fail to treat the exercise as a serious or quantifiable process. Similarly, potential partners can often treat it as a technical exercise without understanding the broader business issues.
Knowledge Failure
Some organisations simply do not know what is possible with SharePoint. Without understanding the immense possibilities, the business benefits and ROI are never explored.
Inexperienced Implementers
Again, some system integration companies can make the mistake of thinking that SharePoint is a technology solution, when in fact it is a business solution. Without an understanding of the relevant business issues, they will not be able to realise your SharePoint vision effectively.
Stagnation
Unfortunately some organisations never do anything with SharePoint despite owning the product and having real business needs. This may be as simple as not knowing where to start, a real shame when there is so much opportunity.
