Nevertheless, there are ways to do it — some are pretty easy while other ways may require a bit more work to get it right. Continue reading this entry »

SharePoint Governance: Needed Now More than Ever (CMSWire)
Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Tweetjam about SharePoint. One of the topics that came up was the importance of Governance. In this article I want to dive deeper into this topic and stress how important governance is within your environment. Governance can simply be defined as a set of controls in place to ensure that your SharePoint environment remains stable, accessible and highly responsive. These are controls that you put in place to keep the environment from becoming the black hole of misplaced and misused content. Continue reading this entry »

Migrating SharePoint 2010 On-Premise Apps to SharePoint 2010 Online (ComputerWeekly)
This is the final segment of a four-part guest blog post by Jeremy Thake, enterprise architect and Microsoft SharePoint MVP at Avepoint — previous blogs are all live linked. As discussed in the previous article, the promotion of SharePoint solutions from one environment to another can prove complex. To add to this complexity, when organisations decide to move from SharePoint 2010 on-premise to SharePoint 2010 online, any full trust solution packages used in the advanced tier cannot be deployed into the multi-tenant environment.

SharePoint 2010 Set-Up Guide: A Configuration Primer (RedmondMag)
For a long time, Exchange Server enjoyed the title of the most complicated Microsoft server product. Even though Exchange Server certainly hasn’t gotten any easier to manage, there are a few other products that are probably more complicated than Exchange. The most notable example is probably Lync Server, but the one that really surprised me was SharePoint 2010. SharePoint 2010 offers such a vast array of configuration options that even getting it up and running can be a mind-boggling experience to those who lack SharePoint know-how. That being the case, I thought I’d try to help out those who might be new to SharePoint by discussing some of the basics. My goal in this article is not to walk you through the deployment process or to make you a SharePoint 2010 expert, but rather to talk about some of the more important things you need to know before you try to manage SharePoint 2010 for the first time.

Increased Productivity Means Focusing on Adoption (AIIM)
Increasing productivity without increasing demand is part of the problem in our current recession, and if you look closely at the data, has been an issue with the US economy for more than a decade. According to Robert Z. Lawrence and Lawrence Edwards in their HBR article Shattering the Myths About US Trade Policy (March 2012), while “many people blame trade for the decline in America’s employment in manufacturing,” the decline in the past decade is equal to the decline we’ve been experiencing over the past 40 years. The authors point out that while “productivity growth has led to lower prices, demand has not grown rapidly enough to prevent a declining trend in employment.” Continue reading this entry »

10 SharePoint Security Mistakes You Probably Make (InformationWeek)
How important is it to secure and monitor Microsoft SharePoint? Consider the case of Bradley Manning, the Army intelligence analyst who’s accused of leaking 250,000 government cables to WikiLeaks. According to an Army investigator who testified at a hearing to determine if Manning should face a court martial, one of Manning’s laptops contained an Excel spreadsheet, containing a tab with multiple Wget scripts–designed to download large numbers of files–that “pointed to a Microsoft SharePoint server” that stored documents for the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base detention facility, reported Wired. The investigator further testified that “he ran the scripts to download the documents, then downloaded the ones that WikiLeaks had published and found they were the same.” Continue reading this entry »
