Aligning Business Objectives with SharePoint #NZSPC (CMSWire)
While attending the 4th annual New Zealand SharePoint Conference (#NZSPC) in Auckland this week, I was able to attend a session by fellow presenter Paul Culmsee (@paulculmsee), a principal of Seven Sigma in Perth, Australia. Paul’s session “Aligning Business Objectives with SharePoint” provided great examples of the need for consensus and shared understanding around the business problems for which SharePoint is being deployed. Paul is a well-known SharePoint expert in the areas of governance and information architecture, is a sensemaking practitioner (a mapping technique for business problems) and facilitator for large scale complex projects, and is a popular blogger at Clever Workarounds.

The Art of SharePoint Success: Architecture – Intranet & Collaboration Services (CMSWire)
The sun is shining and spring is in the air. What better way to spend the warmest day of the year in the UK than penning the latest episode of the Art of SharePoint Success? In our last outing I introduced the idea of deploying SharePoint as a set of business services. Each service supports a different way for people to work together, has its own value proposition and can be implemented within a discreet project or phase. In this gripping installment we’re going to take a deeper look at the idea of services, and think about how we could actually implement them in SharePoint. Continue reading this entry »

With low-level entry barriers for its competitors such as Google and Zoho, it’s not unlikely that those prices will drop again, especially as Microsoft says it is cutting internal costs. But even with the reduced pricing, is Office 365 – and, in particular, SharePoint Online — really for you. Continue reading this entry »

Microsoft’s SharePoint Social Business Strategy Will Sell But It Will Not Be Sweet (Forbes)
Social business belongs to the little guys. At least we should keep an open mind on that. I have a feeling though there’s a premature closure taking place in the debate about what social business is or should be – it’s fast becoming a big vendor conversation when in fact it’s an area of business that bristles with many diverse pockets of activity.

Its diversity might be the biggest challenge that large vendors have faced since the onset of the Wintel alliance. Continue reading this entry »
