Huge Boost in SharePoint Market Predicted
July 8, 2011
Beyond Search prides itself on following and discovering trends way before they hit the mainstream media services. We find patterns, dissect them, and offer our predictions to our readers. We have a brand new one for you concerning SharePoint 2010. Outsourcery Ltd. wrote this piece: “Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Add-Ons ‘Planned by 76% of Users.’” The information in the article goes well beyond the data in our files about the uptake of SharePoint.
Here’s what is surprising. When SharePoint end users install the new 2010 version more than three quarters plan to augment the software by adding their own tweaks and improvements. The Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM) presented this new research. They discovered that one in three users are already placing add-ons to the software to ensure they get the desired experience. Most organizations are downloading the 2010 version, then correcting previous governance and structural problems, and lastly they want to expand the content management functions. We learned:
However, this level of uptake is set to climb substantially over the coming years, with 76 per cent keen to improve the performance of Microsoft SharePoint 2010. In particular, companies were keen to meet their records management compliance requirements by adding or integrating a more “robust” storage system to Microsoft SharePoint 2010.
We think that SharePoint is likely to be a foundation stone in the success of many firms. SharePoint delivers excellent functionality, but many organizations want additional features. As a result, products like SurfRay’s Ontolica provides “snap in” search and content processing. To learn more about SurfRay, visit www.surfray.com.
