Best Practice – Metadata in SharePoint and Beyond (AIIM)
Last time, I talked about the recent SharePoint conference and some of the ECM gaps that have been carried forward into the soon-to-be-released 2013 version of SharePoint. This week I will focus on metadata and share some of my best practices for the use of metadata in ECM systems like SharePoint. You will find most of these recommendations apply equally to any ECM implementation whether you’re using SharePoint or not, and that’s an important point. Although SharePoint is often seen as a transformational platform, its core functionality is not that different from most ECM platforms. Although there are some quirks in SharePoint, most of the advice I will offer can be applied to out-of-the-box SharePoint or any other ECM platform. Continue reading this entry »

Focusing Too Much on the Future (AIIM)
When my company is nearing a new product release, there’s this funny little dance between product management and the sales organization that is fairly common within product and service companies. When the product team needs to share some forward-thinking information on an upcoming release, they go to great length to bridle the level of anticipation, wary of giving out too much information before the product is ready to go to market. Why? Because the (very healthy) habit of sales is to quickly incorporate what they understand about the future roadmap into their sales pitch. Customers want to understand the roadmap — they want the latest, greatest version. And if you’ve never worked in or alongside sales, you understand that if you start talking future-state to customers, they want to buy that future state — and not the products or services available today. Understanding all of that, it’s no wonder my product team is very careful about the timing of our releases, and both internal and external communications. Continue reading this entry »
