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.

Presenter: Joe Shepley (LinkedIn profile @joeshepley) PMP is the Vice President and Practice Leader at Doculabs in the Greater Chicago Area. He specializes in several areas including SDLC (software development life cycle) methodologies, ITIL (V3 Foundation), Project Management, and most importantly Microsoft SharePoint.
