6. How to look @ SharePoint?

7. Key Steps in Planning for SharePoint
Understand SharePoint first – not a solution – it’s a shell
The lay of the land – what are your objectives and
requirements
Saying “I want document management” is not a requirement, that is
quoting functionality within SharePoint
Understand the measurement criteria behind your
requirements
Finally…. map functionality to these objectives

8. Objectives
Best Question: What are you trying to achieve? And Why?
I know, we
need Document
Management!! For goodness
sake… Why? For
what purpose

9. Example
Business Objective User Objective
Increase Customer satisfaction Have pertinent information available
through lower call duration in the call all on one screen minimising my need
centre to go through multiple systems
Potential Functional Solution:
Implement appropriate DM for specific content types in back-end
Use search aggregation techniques to surface targeted content
Build single portal interface with relevant content query web parts.
In the solution we use the following SharePoint functional elements
Document Management
Search
Audiences
Targeting
etc
