Demo of "panel" system (similar to Outlook render) on tablets. ME product still displays single panel on smaller form factor devices. Nice usability.
Pure play social software competitors may slight SharePoint for not providing a complete enterprise social media environment, but the product is ubiquitous in corporate computing and SharePoint 2010 added fundamental social media features like richer user profiles and news feeds.In a panel discussion on SharePoint as a social platform, the consensus was that SharePoint contains many of the ingredients of a social application, but by itself doesn't get you all the way there--not without extensive customization or the addition of a third-party product such as NewsGator Social Sites.
Coverage from Enterprise 2.0, a UBM TechWeb event. Discussion peppered with references to NewsGator and other "plugs." Voices again the concern that Microsoft still lives in a world of documents, and not people.
If your company still lives in a world of documents too, well there's your battle.
By the end of this article, I may not be able to give you all the answers to the questions above, but I hope to at least add clarity and give you some practical structure and tactics you can use to achieve effective SharePoint governance.
In particular I will provide answers to the following key questions:
- What is effective SharePoint governance?
- How should I structure my governance teams?
- How does business strategy fit into SharePoint governance?
- What should my governance teams be doing?
Let’s start with what “effective” SharePoint governance is, and what it isn’t.
...what other system can allow you to implement a Hybrid Platform with one licensing model, one common skillset for your support staff, and browser, mobile, and Microsoft Office compatibility with Social \ Professional Networking capability all built in? There is not one out there and that is why Documentum, LiveLink, FileNet, and many others are more and more wanting to “play nice” with SharePoint and offer more integration capabilities so that they have some option of even getting in the door or not being replaced.
Great proof points around mobility, browser compatibility, and compliance in the SharePoint 2010 platform and beyond.
