This SharePoint 2010 white paper discusses the pros and cons of multiple versus single platforms, the evolution of SharePoint, new SharePoint 2010 features that target enterprise requirements, what content management features Microsoft believes SharePoint now handles adequately on its own, and which require partner ecosystem solutions.
About Microsoft SharePoint, one thing is certain - it's popular. Love it or hate it, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone involved or interested in ECM that didn't have at least a basic knowledge of SharePoint. Despite it's popularity, however, SharePoint continues to raise questions in the minds of users and potential users everywhere. Why SharePoint? How do you make the move to SharePoint? Is it Worth it? ECM Connection recently spoke with Ron Cameron, president and co-founder of KnowledgeLake, to explore these questions.
Updated June 2009The whitepaper has been updated with new information regarding server virtualization options, storage subsystem comparison, and general prescriptive guidance. It also contains new information gained from recent SharePoint Master training in Redmond, WA.
Microsoft SharePoint integration for any application Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies have emerged as a successful new breed of Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software. This whitepaper is aimed at organizations that have implemented SharePoint and are interested in creating even more information worker productivity through the use of clever new technology.
Leveraging SharePoint for Transactional Content ManagementIn 1975, BusinessWeek published an article titled THE OFFICE OF THE FUTURE, which predicted the arrival of the paperless office by 1990. Three decades later, it appears that the reports of paper’s death may have been greatly exaggerated. Many organizations continue to rely on paper intensive processes that are expensive and inefficient. The idealistic dream of the paperless office remains as elusive as ever.
This white paper presents the key decision points, architecture design and definition, test criteria and results from a scalability and performance test conducted at the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center (MPSC) in Redmond, WA. This was a collaborative partnership between Fujitsu Computers, Microsoft and KnowledgeLake.
Since the release of SharePoint Portal Server 2001, users have realized that by using the storage capabilities of SharePoint Products and Technologies, documents can be stored, archived and used for collaboration. SharePoint was also a great way for users to get their feet wet with ECM since it was being delivered as part of the platform their organization already had in place or would likely implement in the near future.
However, even though most Microsoft Office products have out-of-the-box integration for SharePoint there are still some missing parts for a true Document Imaging solution. What Microsoft left out of the product is covered by a larger and stronger ISV community than any other vendor.
MOSS 2007, Paired with the Right Imaging Technology, Brings ECM to a Wide Range of Applications.
Enterprise Content Management, or ECM, is often discussed more in terms of the technology used for content management than for the critically important business processes that require the right content to be efficient and effective. Yet process is critical, and every organization over a certain size demands automation of certain content-intensive business processes.
