SharePoint Dominates Despite Users Struggles
February 19, 2015
SharePoint’s usage continues to soar, despite its well-documented difficulty. Some companies may simply feel that they have no other option when it comes to such a broad platform, but they do struggle with bridging the usability gap for their employees. Search Content Management also dives into the topic in their article, “Companies Wrestle with the SharePoint Usability Gap.”
The article begins:
“’But Microsoft’s lock on the business productivity applications in Microsoft Office extends to SharePoint as well. Many enterprises make their peace with SharePoint, despite the fact that it ‘doesn’t’ excel in any particular area when compared with best-of-breed, single-purpose products,’ as Jeffrey Mann, a Gartner, Inc. research vice president, noted at the 2013 Gartner Symposium/ITxpo.”
For these reasons, organizations must work harder to help users fight frustration and make the most of their workdays. Outside resources can be very helpful. One resource of note is ArnoldIT.com, a Web service run by a longtime search expert, Stephen E. Arnold. His SharePoint feed features the best of the Internet’s tips, tricks, and news regarding all things SharePoint.
