SharePoint is often misunderstood and underestimated. While most organizations and IT departments start off seeing SharePoint as a document repository and version control solution, they fail to fully understand the power of SharePoint to change the way a business operates.

As an information and collaboration platform, SharePoint goes way beyond just document management. SharePoint provides tools which brings team together in a way that has never been fully seen with technology in the past.

The broad spectrum of information management features in SharePoint from enterprise content management to document lifecycle and then with all the new 2013 social features, SharePoint is not a system you deploy without a full understanding of its implications to impact the way information flows within an organization.

SharePoint will change the way your people work and that has a significant impact on the way you do business as well as a direct effect on the bottom line.

This one hour webinar will give an overview of the requirements for planning and governance prior to ever taking SharePoint out of its wrapper.

1. You will understand why it is important to have a plan for SharePoint that is tied to your organizations vision and business goals.
2. You will learn what the often misunderstood purpose for Governance is and why Governance is a living, breathing, and ongoing initiative which is critical to the success of SharePoint.
3. Finally, Tom will discuss some best practices for driving adoption and how to guarantee your SharePoint ROI is maximized through proper training and support.

The topics that will be covered in this one hour webinar:

• What is SharePoint?
• Why Planning is critical
• Connecting SharePoint to your organization Mission and goals
• SharePoint as a tool, not a manager
• What is Governance?
• Choosing your governance team
