Using the SharePoint wiki

April 16th, 2009

We’ve been using the SharePoint wiki for some time to provide our KM platform within Ciall.  Out of the box functionality may not be considered the most sophisticated – but we’ve found the product useable, useful and scalable.

EnduserSharePoint has a great review of the SharePoint WIKI: Wiki-in-the-Box – Is SharePoint Wiki Really that Bad?

The posting gives a good feel for the inherrent functionality of the WIKI as delivered and the additional functionality associated with its being part of SharePoint.  Good article and goes some way to balancing the books.

Pros and cons of Microsoft SharePoint for Enterprise 2.0

March 27th, 2009

Interesting post from Dion Hinchcliffe re Sharepoint in the context of Enterprise 2.0.  Hinchcliffe titles his post – ‘the good, the bad & the ugly’.  We have several implementations of SharePoint behind us with a range of clients.  Our experience has been that the power of the product generally goes unused.  There are no ‘free lunches’.  If you want to use SharePoint to improve/ support collaboration within your organisation you need to commit resources to the initiative – both in the planning, design & build phase and the post go live. 

With the appropriate investment major benefits can accrue to any organisation.  Some of the concerns expressed re complexity of SharePoint (in the context of Enterprise 2.0) are best addressed through careful planning and phased introduction of additional functionality.  The same would apply to any organisational change.
