Planning a SharePoint Deployment
March 6, 2014
While in the back of their minds most people know that SharePoint is a complicated installation process, few are willing or able to prepare for its installation appropriately. But Search Windows Server offers some good reasons for proper planning in their article, “How Simple Planning Can Prevent Common SharePoint Deployment Snags.”
The article elaborates on the problem of a lack of planning for installation:
“It’s possible to install most applications and immediately begin using them, but this isn’t really the case with SharePoint. Even though SharePoint is technically an application, it’s better described as an application framework. SharePoint isn’t something you should simply install and then allow users to immediately begin using — you’ll most likely have problems if you do.”
Stephen E. Arnold has heard this same advice many times and has conveyed it himself through his Web site ArnoldIT.com. His coverage of SharePoint stems from a longtime interest in all things search. His reporting also supports the benefits of planning and proper implementation, as user experience improves when the proper planning is done.
