More about SharePoint and Collaboration
September 9, 2011
Mass-produced web sites are usually ignored by our content wranglers, but this one slipped through the cracks from the questionable web site u4cash.com: “Enjoy Maximum Collaboration with the Help of SharePoint.” The opening paragraph reads like an advertisement for SharePoint and how it can offer custom software application development services.
SharePoint application development is an answer to those who were facing problem with their business requirements. Many people want assistance in the collection and the collaboration of the information from a certain firm or company. What SharePoint applications do is the customization, configuration and the development of Intranet, Extranet and the portals of information that are present on SharePoint.
The article explains that special features SharePoint offers users, such as document libraries to manage content, report generation, easy location, and sharing content across a wide network. Despite the articles mass-produced quality, we got to thinking about collaboration vs. content governance/rick indexing. Is the need to connect users and all of their content, greater than controlling quality?
Our experience tells us that an abundance of users always creates different methods of indexing and organization. Today the “content confusion” is often described as a “governance problem”. We prefer the term editorial policy. Without an editorial policy, uncontrolled content inputs produces what we call a big mess. SharePoint needs to combine indexing and collaboration with a large focus on content findability enhancement.
To tame your SharePoint content findability challenges, we suggest you navigate to SurfRay.com and check out the Ontolica search and content processing system. You will still be well served by an editorial policy. But whether you have a full blown governance system or a basic SharePoint installation, SurfRay can help.
