Info-Tech Research Group, July 2010
This Info-Tech Research Group product combines actionable insight and relevant advice. Our practical approach is designed to have a clear and measurable impact on your organization’s bottom line.
SharePoint for ECM: free like puppies
Your Challenge
- Many enterprises have access to SharePoint due to Microsoft licensing arrangements.
- SharePoint can do anything, but not easily or well.
- SharePoint can be an effective ECM solution but IT leaders must consider its appropriateness and whether or not a third-party solution will be required.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- SharePoint is an incomplete solution. It does some things very well but still lacks functionality for particular business uses.
- Extending SharePoint with third-party tools is an important component of SharePoint project success.
- End-user adoption is the critical component of SharePoint deployments. Without end-user interest there is no ROI.
Impact and Result
- The storyboard lays out the ways in which SharePoint can be successfully deployed for ECM, and reasons why it can’t.
- The SharePoint version selection tool saves time and effort by recommending the appropriate version of SharePoint for a particular set of business requirements and by providing guidelines on cost and deployment effort.
- The SharePoint deployment plan tool creates a customized deployment plan that highlights those areas that are most critical for a particular enterprise. It helps IT leaders avoid common pitfalls.
- The SharePoint 2010 readiness assessment tool gives IT leaders guidance on whether or not they should be early adopters of the new version of SharePoint.
