SharePoint is everywhere, with some studies reporting as many as 78% of organizations currently using it. When Microsoft released SharePoint 2007, it was the fastest software to ever hit $1B in sales, and that success has continued through the release of SharePoint 2010 and 2013.
SharePoint is easy to deploy, user friendly, and provides a “good enough” approach to developing a corporate intranet, providing document management for end users, and fostering team and social collaboration.
However, all that ease of use and adoption can make us forget that SharePoint is less like an Office product than it is an enterprise platform…yet most places treat it like Word or Excel.
Deploying SharePoint with little to no planning, training, requirements gathering, change management, or governance of any kind, with serious consequences:
- Long-term user dissatisfaction
- Low sustainability
- Less value for SharePoint investment
- Increased operational risk
- Increased compliance risk
In this web seminar, you’ll learn more about the challenges facing the development and use of SharePoint, as well as get an overview of a best practices approach to overcoming them.

I am not getting any audio with this presentation. Is it just me, or was the presentation recorded incorrectly.
Hello Colin,
We checked on the session and we too found the audio missing now – so no it is not just you. For us this is confusing because as part of our process one of our editorial staff has watched/reviewed the session but they could have viewed the live session. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. We will try to follow up with Aspe for further clarification.
