Description
Microsoft SharePoint is a strategic business platform that allows people to connect seamlessly with each other in terms of centralized content management. Furthermore, as a collaborative tool, SharePoint can be used by anyone, and can be installed and configured very quickly.
The simplicity of provisioning SharePoint in this way, however, leads to issues where a business does not have the opportunity to define a SharePoint strategy, because it might not be aware there are practical and structured techniques for building, managing, and delivering SharePoint solutions. This lack of information is also compounded because SharePoint may have been provisioned through an IT project, with little to no business interaction. In IT projects, service delivery is not often seen as a priority. This often leads to issues concerning ownership, which can negatively affect User Adoption. Therefore, without the business taking ownership of the SharePoint solutions, the result is usually failures with regards to User Adoption, Governance, training, and communications.
