| 28/10/2010 | 1:30 - 5:30 | GTTP 11 | SharePoint Governance | Deploying SharePoint is about alignment, adaption and adoption, and there is much more than getting your IT department to install it on a server. SharePoint 2007 was compelling yet hard to master, and the 2010 edition is a richer and even more powerful product that more crosses organisational boundaries than ever before. Of course, with that power and that feature list, comes considerable technical complexity. Therefore the geeks have their work cut out to ensure the platform is stable, fast and responsive. Current SharePoint governance documentation abounds about how to do this but just because your system is rock solid, stable, well documented and governed through good process, there is absolutely no guarantee of success. In fact, the secret sauce to a successful SharePoint project is an area that the governance documentation barely touches. | Dux Raymond Sy |
