SharePoint Often Comes Up Short

March 12, 2015

Although SharePoint has an unwavering hold on the enterprise market, recent studies show that it comes up short when it comes to meeting expectations. A surprising number of organizations report that the solution does not meet their needs or expectations. Read all the details in the Network World article, “Microsoft SharePoint Coming up Short for Most Enterprises, Study Finds.”

The article reports the study’s findings:

“The AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) Web-based survey of 409 member organizations found that nearly two-thirds described their SharePoint projects as either stalled (26%) or not meeting original expectations (37%). The associated Yammer social business tool has also been slow to catch on, with only about 1 in 5 organizations using it, and only 10% of them using it regularly and on a widespread basis.”

Stephen E. Arnold has also found similar levels of dissatisfaction in his reporting. His Web service, ArnoldIT.com, is devoted to all things search. His dedicated SharePoint feed is a great resource for all the latest tips, tricks, and news related to the enterprise installation. Additionally, users may find some helpful workarounds for fixing installations that are not meeting their organization’s needs.
