SharePoint use – a QUIZ!
What is your experience of
finding information?
How many sites are there? And how many in frequent use? How are
sites set up? What happens when sites
“fade”?
Who decides and sets up libraries? Who decides and sets up content
types?
Who in the room uses SharePoint? What for?
Who administers the sites? What guidelines are there for storing
content in sites?
How widespread is SharePoint in your
organisation?

50% of SharePoint implementation had a business case half required financial justification
Most have no management plan on features to be used
25% of organisations have no experience of ECM/DMs
22% provide guidance on content types and classification
15% have retention/disposal policies
“… risking content chaos within SharePoint as well as outside of it”
