SharePoint implementation

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS 2007) is a collaboration tool truly revolutionary. There are few technologies that can sell itself and MOSS is two of them. I have seen clients who have no idea what is required of SharePoint, but they require anyway. Microsoft has done an incredible job of showing what MOSS can do for the company and based on initial information that is on track to become the WebOS for the 21st century. like any other Microsoft product, MOSS is relatively easy to install and configure, and most companies think they can get a site up and walking without any design technique.



Based on my experience with the implementation of minimum standards in several companies, here are the top 10 reasons why an application may fail MOSS

Capacity Planning

Each application of minimum standards that have been part of user adoption has been great. Capacity planning becomes an important exercise if you want to make sure your portal truly become a unique solution to its users. Excel Services, catalog data, document conversion services are all resources. Design of a farm that can scale with the business is of paramount importance to ensure a good experience for users. Poor performance leads to poor user adoption leading to a rancid portal

setup a site, Joe User will love it

improve the productivity of information workers is a central goal for MOSS and employee engagement in the planning stage is that there is an adequate level of buy-in from all levels within the company. I am not recommending the "design by committee" here. The key stakeholders should be made to the product during the initial deployment phase of building their comfort level with the tool and get feedback. Increases their sense of ownership and lead to greater adoption. If users do not bother to create or maintain the contents of all you have is a stale website that displays the local time and displays the stock price and the company has spent $ 200k of your application.
