SharePoint User Resistance Rises

March 17, 2015

Only one in ten organizations feel that their use of SharePoint has been a true success. This and other hard truths come out in the latest research by AIIM. The Globe Newswire covers all the latest news in their article, “SharePoint Projects are ‘Stalling’ as User Resistance Rises Says New AIIM Report.”

The report begins:

“Nearly two-thirds of enterprises say that their SharePoint project has either stalled (26 percent) or isn’t meeting their original expectations (37 percent), according to new research by independent information management analysts, AIIM. Adoption of business social tool Yammer is slow too, with 18 percent of respondents saying it has been adopted in their organization, but only one in ten of those reporting widespread and regular use.”

It is no surprise that such a large and complicated infrastructure as SharePoint has a high failure rate. Yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the platform is without merit. Most satisfied companies find that customization and third-party add-ons allow for significant improvement in satisfaction numbers. Stephen E. Arnold has made a career out of all things search and often covers SharePoint on his Web site, ArnoldIT.com. His SharePoint feed is a great resource for organizations that are looking to make the most of out of their current implementation, or plan a new installation.
