No business case in half of SharePoint implementations - Page 1 - Enterprise Business Applications

No business case in half of SharePoint implementations - Page 1 - Enterprise Business Applications:

"Half of implementations of Microsoft Corp.’s SharePoint collaboration platform go ahead without a formal business case, according to research from a content management industry association. And that’s causing confusion on the content management and records management sides of the house, says the lead researcher on the study.

"The ease of creating SharePoint sites means end-users can implement the technology. It’s a bit of a nightmare scenario, Miles said, but “it would be an impossible scenario” with other enterprise applications.

According to the survey, a third of organizations have no plans regarding where SharePoint should be used, and where it shouldn’t.

“If you give people unfettered control to create these sites, they will,” Miles said. Every meeting, every social event can spawn a new site, and companies often don’t have end-of-life policies to control their lifecycles, he said. This site sprawl is an issue for 25 per cent of users, according to the survey.
