Key to Success: Effective Planning
Although SharePoint is Microsoft’s fastest growing product in the history of the company, it’s had a rocky start. Microsoft first released SharePoint in 2001, and the word “portal” very quickly became an industry buzzword. Organizations raced to deploy their own, although very few people could agree on what “portal” actually meant. Was it a collaboration space provider? A content management system? How about a business intelligence tool, enterprise search engine, web publishing application or application development platform? The answer, of course, is “yes” – SharePoint is all of those things, and more.
Our lesson on the importance of SharePoint deployment planning came with a price tag of $100k, the cost to redesign our site architecture and migrate content to the new environment. Had we effectively planned from the beginning, we could have spent that money adding new features that impact business value to our clients.
Katie Omri, Project Manager
Many organizations simply “installed” SharePoint, then waited for the ROI to arrive. But instead of a positive ROI, many found that their new SharePoint portals were either:
(a) not focused enough to actually meet their business needs
(b) largely ignored by their user communities or
(c) growing so fast in all directions at once that it had become completely unmanageable.
The primary lesson learned from those early years of web-based collaboration was that in order for a SharePoint deployment to be successful, it must be thoroughly planned. This isn’t a minor point, and one that collectively cost companies millions of dollars to learn.
