Is SharePoint Being Shunned?
February 22, 2012
SharePoint’s widespread adoption is a fact that no one contests, but The Running Librarian asks us to consider, “Are Employees Rejecting SharePoint?” SharePoint might be up and running in an organization, but is it really being used, embraced by the work force?
The Running Librarian has this to say:
Sam (Marshall) suggests that a major reason for the failure of SharePoint is that the way individuals interact with SharePoint is different from a traditional intranet. On SharePoint there is an expectation that users will be active participants rather then just passive users. Sam also points out that SharePoint is inherently complicated.
The combination of an inherently complicated infrastructure and a requirement that users be active participants is just too demanding for most users. An enterprise solution must be more easily adoptable and inherently natural to the end user in order to be successful.
Fabasoft Mindbreeze makes an effort to provide an enterprise solution that is efficient and sophisticated but also easily adoptable and intuitive for the end user. Mindbreeze routinely receives accolades for their products including, “Mindbreeze Named to KMWorld’s 100 Companies That Matter In Knowledge Management.” The press release highlighted just some of the solution’s strengths.
Fabasoft Mindbreeze enables corporate information access. Only one search query is needed to clearly display search results and related information, even for complex topics. Each item from the hit list can be opened in preview mode which, in addition to document content and the most important meta data (author, date of creation, subject and topic etc) shows all e-mail attachments. The existing access rights are checked for each query, ensuring individual adherence to corporate access restrictions.
If your organization is struggling with SharePoint, try adding Fabasoft Mindbreeze to see if both efficiency and user satisfaction can be improved.
