Why are we talking about governance? • SharePoint out of the box is a powerful platform • But many organizations don’t think they have the time, money, people to spend on planning • The result? o Site sprawl o Unfettered content o Process lawlessnessEmail Cell Twitter Blogcbuck@axceler.com 425.246.2823 @buckleyplanet http://buckleyplanet.com

Why are we talking about governance? A new survey has found that almost half of SharePoint users disregard the security within SharePoint. “Steps need to be taken that recognize the increasing porosity of the perimeter and allow the workforce to harness the power SharePoint offers without compromising security.” Jan/Feb 2012, IDM.net.auEmail Cell Twitter Blogcbuck@axceler.com 425.246.2823 @buckleyplanet http://buckleyplanet.com

Why are we talking about governance? A 2012 CIO survey by Gartner shows an increasing push in collaboration, analytics, and cloud computing. They predict that by 2016, 20% of CIOs in regulated industries will lose their jobs for failing to implement the discipline of information governance successfully.

Best Practices from IDM Survey “Your priority is to get an information architecture and taxonomy linked to business process management.” “Think about the basic services being provided and how staff can be more productive rather than introduce the bells and whistles.” “Ensure governance is prioritized from the outset.” “Make sure that any innovations are championed and advertised to that others can see what can be achieved and they can relate back to their own challenges.” “Organizations will have to increase their investment in related tools and technologies, both the facilitate the development and refinement of policy, and to distill policies into executable rules that tools can apply to information.”Email Cell Twitter Blogcbuck@axceler.com 425.246.2823 @buckleyplanet http://buckleyplanet.com

Readiness • Self Quiz: o How important is governance in your organization/company today? o Do you have a SharePoint governance plan in place today? o If yes, who are the stakeholders included in your governance body? (end users, IT managers, administrators, etc) o Do you have specific information management policies in place? o Do you maintain Service Level Agreements with your end users? o Do you have an operational change management model in place to review and prioritize feature requests and customizations? o Do you regularly run audits on usage, security, content, or permissions?Email Cell Twitter Blogcbuck@axceler.com 425.246.2823 @buckleyplanet http://buckleyplanet.com
