software – 100 million licenses.• Basic version is free with Windows
Server.• Paid version adds (lots) more
features.

SharePoint is also the IT panacea because it can do everything...

The story goes like this…• SharePoint is seen as a quick win.• Here you go…now you can collaborate! • Sites and data grow out of control.• Users need training.• IT support gets over whelmed.• Silos are created everywhere.• SharePoint officially becomes an enterprise
weed.

How do you “Solve” for SharePoint?
• Treat a SharePoint project like any other web project.
• Do a good job of the up-front work before deployment.– Requirements– Design– Development
