SharePoint Collaborative Features Enhance Decision Making
February 7, 2014
Some of the newest SharePoint collaborative features are getting mixed reviews. However, the ultimate aim is noble, or so says Search Content Management in their article, “SharePoint 2013 Collaboration Features Enhance Enterprise Decision Making.”
The article says:
“SharePoint 2013 includes new collaboration features such as Community Sites and microblogging, which enable formerly siloed workers to interact with one another based on shared interest rather than just because they work in the same department or on the same project — and in ways that mimic familiar social networking sites like Facebook. SharePoint brings together the sites, documents and other information that users care about and helps them share what they know easily.”
Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime leader in search and devotes a good bit of his attention on ArnoldIT.com to social or collaborative features of SharePoint. And while the technology may be playing catch-up, the need and the idea behind social integration is growing strong.
