Taking Care with SharePoint 2010

February 29, 2012

Enough is written on SharePoint 2010 that we all know by now that SharePoint is not an intuitive creature.  James Mullan eases the strain by offering, “SharePoint 2010 Do’s and Don’ts.”

Mullan sets the context for his suggestions:

SharePoint use will vary dependent on who you talk to, but for the most part organisations are using it as a Web Content Management (WCM) or an Enterprise Content Management System (ECM). A recent survey found that, since its release more then 10 years ago, SharePoint has moved from ‘being an intranet and basic collaboration application to something that is now used for portals, collaboration, forms processing, business intelligence, business process management and content management.’

The author then goes on to provide the promised list of do’s and don’ts, trying to save SharePoint developers investment in terms of time and money.  While it is true that much can be streamlined through SharePoint customization, third party solutions are available that provide a more intuitive interface without a major investment in time or training.

Fabasoft Mindbreeze is one offering that provides a suite of solutions, performing as a standalone CMS or complimenting an existing SharePoint installation.

The essence of Fabasoft Mindbreeze can be summed up in terms of speed and efficiency:

Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise searches all structured and unstructured data (e-mails, documents, contracts, contacts, notes etc.) within seconds and provides all relevant information structured, prioritized and ready for further use. Staff resources are released to concentrate on their actual task.

If your organization could benefit from a more customized or intuitive enterprise search interface, but cannot spare the investment, investigate what Fabasoft Mindbreeze might be able to do to improve your existing CMS.
