#1 Problem and Opportunity with SharePoint
![Page 13: Lil Sawyer: SharePoint is like a box of Lego in the workplace](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030215/58898c9d1a28ab330e8b477f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
● “We encourage you not to
modify it which could add complexity, performance
and upgradeability and to focus your energy on working
with users and groups to understand how to use SharePoint
to improve productivity and collaboration and identifying
and promoting best practices in your organization.” ● Read more at https://blogs.office.com/2012/07/17/the-new-
sharepoint/#LpYtorxsQOfrb8Ts.99
● Power of SP is the ability to bolt
on and add new, different and cool
components
● A great platform that’s much
greater when customized to the
needs of the business

What is your intranet worth?
Using “Time” to calculate
![Page 33: Lil Sawyer: SharePoint is like a box of Lego in the workplace](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022030215/58898c9d1a28ab330e8b477f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Value of Your Intranet Measured in Minutes
What is the worth/cost of the intranet if each employee spends 10 minutes there daily? 1000 Employees x Avg. $50,000 x 10 minutes/250 working days = $2,000,000/yr
A LOOP Minute = $200,000
