Forrester’s Survey on Best Practices in SharePoint 2010 Adoption and Migration (CMSWire)
At the SharePoint Conference in Anaheim California, Rob Koplowitz, Vice President and Principal Analyst at Forrester, shared the results of the Forrester survey on “Best Practices in SharePoint 2010 Adoption and Migration.” The crowd was near capacity, and full of questions about the various data points, and some of Forrester’s qualitative input. The following is a synopsis of the session, with some of my own feedback on the numbers from their survey of just under 1,000 SharePoint 2010 customers, the Forrester interpretation of the data, and my thoughts on where there may be room for additional research and investigation.

Is SharePoint a Savior for Information Management? (CMSWire)
For years, the challenge with many information and content management systems has been the lack of discipline. I’m not referring to missing knowledge or processes but to the lack of control people have faced in keeping the scope of the effort under control. It is too easy to try and take full advantage of any product right out of the gate. In many ways, SharePoint might actually be a savior and help people to properly scope their initiatives.

“Sixty-two percent of companies we recently surveyed said that SharePoint is going to be one of their top five business applications in the next two years,” says Brian Babineau, vice president of research and analyst services at Enterprise Strategy Group. As an administrator or IT decision maker, how ready are you to begin working with SharePoint within your environment?

Deploying such sites takes a bit more knowledge of a diverse set of Microsoft technologies, including Windows Server 2008 R2, .Net, IIS, SQL, and SharePoint.

Collaboration More than Just a Buzzword; Microsoft no Longer a Monopoly; Is IE the Safest Browser?

By Chris DooleyNo Comments

SharePoint Daily LogoI am starting to think that little things like privacy and security are things of the past. I’ve lost track of how many emails I have received over the last few weeks saying that my email address may have been stolen. The PlayStation Network was hacked and info was stolen. Microsoft, Google and Apple have all admitted that our phones may or may not be tracking us (depending on who you talk to). My bank has mailed me new debit cards at least 3 times last year due to possible security issues. Maybe I should make things easier for the hackers and start publishing all my info at the end of every Daily post.   [:P]    /whining   — Chris
