Summary

The Only Book That’s Completely Focused on Maximizing the Business Value of SharePoint 2010 Solutions

Essential SharePoint® 2010 approaches Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 from a strict business value perspective, explaining exactly how to plan and implement SharePoint solutions to achieve superior business results.

The authors are leading enterprise SharePoint consultants and draw on their unsurpassed experience to focus on the SharePoint features that offer the most real-world value. You’ll find practical advice about how to succeed with knowledge management, business intelligence, and process improvement, and how to derive value from new innovations such as social tagging and mashups.

The book includes comprehensive, “in the trenches” guidance on planning, architecture, governance, training, and other key issues most SharePoint books ignore. The authors identify success factors, intangibles, and “gotchas,” helping you systematically reduce project risk and time-to-value ratio. Learn how to

-Customize your best portal or collaboration strategy

-Sustain a portal for continual, measurable value

-Leverage the new community and social features in SharePoint 2010

-Succeed with enterprise content management

-Streamline business processes with Workflow and Forms

-Choose the right roles for Web collaboration, search, and Microsoft Office

-Plan for secure external collaboration

-Migrate smoothly from SharePoint 2007

-Train and communicate for a successful launch

Whether you’re a business leader, IT manager, architect, analyst, developer, or consultant, this book will help you tightly align SharePoint projects with business strategy to deliver outstanding results.

“This book will become a mainstay in your SharePoint library. You will find yourself reaching for it whenever you run into a difficult situation or need extra guidance on how to use the new SharePoint product set.”- From the Foreword by Thomas Rizzo, Senior Director, SharePoint Product Management, Microsoft
