Improving SharePoint Ease of Use
March 28, 2014
None-technical users of SharePoint will rarely say that the solution is easy to use. In fact, many will actually circumvent the system, or develop their own ways to share information just because of the perceived effort of SharePoint. But some companies are creating solutions that improve the user interface of SharePoint without asking end users to understand the underlying architecture. Read more in the CMS Wire article, “If You Dress SharePoint Differently, Is it Easier to Use? #SPC14.”
The article introduces Akumina Interchange:
“’Akumina today announced the beta release of InterChange, a persona-based authoring and website management solution for SharePoint 2013. ‘With InterChange, casual content authors no longer need to ‘learn SharePoint’ or understand the underlying information architecture of their site to create and manage content,’ Rogers told CMSWire.”
Stephen E. Arnold is a longtime search expert and gives a lot of attention to SharePoint on his Web site, ArnoldIT.com. He has found that customization is an important factor in SharePoint adoption. It would be interesting to see if this type of add-on is just as helpful, since end users would have fewer “unfamiliar” aspects to overcome.
