Common Pain in SharePoint
January 3, 2012
SharePoint brings just as much pain as it does joy in many circumstances. But one does not have to look too hard to realize how common certain SharePoint pain points are in the enterprise realm. The solutions to these SharePoint issues can be just as painful as the issues themselves. Consultants and third-party firms do not always live up to their promises. A SharePoint blogger gives us his take in, “SharePoint – To the Pain!”
As he points out:
One of the pains many of us have experienced is the sting of inexperienced SharePoint ‘experts.’ These people are giving bad advice in their blogs. These people are in ‘expert’ SharePoint firms charging us an arm and a leg and doing bad work. It’s rampant, and I’ve experienced it as a full time employee working for a large corporation paying a HUGE amount for SharePoint ‘experts’ who were breaking things and had NO CLUE what they were doing.
We want to emphasize that not all SharePoint experts and consulting firms are bad. The opinion above is merely that of the blogger. However, a bit of caution is a good rule of thumb when choosing an outside party to assist in SharePoint solutions. SharePoint is not an out-of-the-box enterprise solution. In order to be effective and efficient, third party solutions should be added onto an existing SharePoint framework.
This is where we think an option like Fabasoft Mindbreeze is smart. Offering an entire suite of solutions, Mindbreeze is neither excessive in cost nor disappointing in performance. Their Connectors offerings allow Mindbreeze to work alongside SharePoint, Exchange, and a variety of other applications. The Mindbreeze enterprise solution can stand alone or improve an already existing enterprise infrastructure.
As the optimum search and information access solution, Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise facilitates the comprehensive incorporation of all electronic data repositories. Data sources and storage systems are connected to Fabasoft Mindbreeze Enterprise via Fabasoft Mindbreeze Connectors.
While a bit of caution is necessary, there are good third party SharePoint solutions out there. Find one that works for you and enjoy the ease and efficiency that it can offer.
