Tahoe Partners are Microsoft Business Critical
September 28, 2013
Tahoe Partners is a Chicago-based consulting firm that was recently awarded as a Microsoft Business-Critical SharePoint program. You can read all the details in the press release, “Tahoe Partners Selected to Microsoft Business Critical SharePoint Program.”
The article gives a little more information about the BCSP program:
“The Business-Critical SharePoint (BCSP) partner program is focused on expanding the market for building and delivering business-critical solutions by connecting line-of-business (LOB) systems with SharePoint.”
But according to Stephen E. Arnold, an industry leader in search technologies, a SharePoint stamp of approval does not go very far these days. In his article, “Software: Its Dark Side and Search,” Arnold states the trouble with current enterprise search options:
“Findability is not making much progress. I am not sure the developers are to blame. Computational boundaries, the complexity of language, and the ‘needs’ of the busy worker contribute to systems which are increasingly alike. The enterprise search systems are equally useful and equally disappointing. Good business for consultants and technical wellness staff comes from the present situation.”
So perhaps the Microsoft BCSP is just an acknowledgement that SharePoint only works well when supplemented and augmented.
