The Art of SharePoint Success: Strategy – SharePoint as an Information & Knowledge Management Infrastructure (CMSWire)
This is article seven in the series exploring the Art of SharePoint Success, a framework for achieving long term business benefits from investments in SharePoint-based change initiatives. There are four elements to the framework: 1.Governance; 2.Strategy; 3.Architecture; 4.Transition. We are discussing the strategy element which began with the question, “What is SharePoint?” I suggested the following answer: SharePoint is a set of integrated technologies which provide a platform upon which an organization can build a flexible, long-term information and knowledge management infrastructure. The past two articles have explored the concepts of SharePoint as a set of integrated technologies, as an application development platform and the nature of infrastructure. This month we are going to wrap up the definition of SharePoint by looking at the idea that SharePoint is all about information and knowledge management. Continue reading this entry »

A Chat With Quest Software on Governing SharePoint (CMSWire)
I had the opportunity to chat with Bill Evans, Quest Software’s VP and GM of SharePoint and Chris McNulty, SharePoint Strategic Product Manager, on the governance issues SharePoint orgs are faced with and how Quest can help manage the chaos. The Problem with SharePoint: The problem with SharePoint is that organizations get so excited there’s an app in house that workers can use so easily, that they sometimes forget they need to plan how it really should be implemented. Stephen Fishman says in his recent article that we shouldn’t blame users and governance models for SharePoint’s poor siloed design. And while I agree that users should never be blamed for a system not working the way it needs to, we can’t blame the software either. Poorly customized/configured, implemented and managed software is the trouble maker and that’s the joint responsibility of the business and IT. And I do think governance strategies go a long way towards making software more user friendly. Continue reading this entry »

Office 365: How Microsoft Does IT (.NET Developers Journal)
In part 2 of this 30 part series we introduced the topic of Hybrid Cloud. That is the combining of Public, Private, and or traditional IT into a system that works for you. One of the great Hybrid examples I like to talk about is internally here at Microsoft. Microsoft is an extremely email centric company. Email is beyond a mission critical app for us. As such we spend a lot on our internal Exchange infrastructure. I have been on a beta test program for many years helping our Exchange team test the next version of Exchange before they are released.
