1. About me -
o Earned a tag "MicrosoftCertified Professional" from Microsoftfor SharePointtechnologiesin
2011 &re-newed in 2014,
o Passeda few Microsoft certifications to start with like 70-331, 70-488, 70-668, 70-667, 70-
631 & 70-432,
o Acquired a tag 'Guru' in SharePointfrom Experts-Exchange grossingover2 lacks pointsas a
result of solvingthe real life technical problemsin SharePointtechnologies,
o 6 year qualified experience in tryingto makebusinesssolutionsusingSharePoint2013, 2010,
2007, SQL& thirdparty productsrevolvingroundthem,
o Lookingfor that feeling youget when the solutionyoucreated improvesbusinessprocess.
How I see SharePoint:
o SharePointin layman'sview,
is a platform. A businesscan use it to solutionizemostof the businessneedsfrom
InformationTechnology stack.
o SharePointin businesssense,
Meansa one stopsolution(or at least an intentto start with!).
It couldbe lookedas if an organization-wideconsolidatedonepage to businessowners,
management& groundlevel employees.
People like me comes into picture in "How-to" part. I felt this asimmensely interesting since
this thingis a highly flexible & complexity comes free of cost with flexibility on ourearth.
Interdependencies& the inside look of SharePointis a complex world to understand.
Like any othersuccessful thing, it doesneeds long term perspective & visionat core.

2. Business perception
o In good implementations,
Goodeasy to use solutionfor the primary businessneed why SharePointhascome into the
premises.
Difficult to leverage mostof its (other) on-papercapabilities thereby ending upwith a solutionto
a single businessneed, often collaboration.
o In notso good implementations,
We feel SharePointasvery complex, toomany limitations, very costly tool.
This comes as anaftermath of some or all of:
Poortechnical design,
Inconsistentgovernance& retentionprocesses,
Irregular maintenancecycles & lack of preventive maintenance,
Poordevelopmentpractices,
Improperly configuredmonitoringtoolsand
Inconsistentnewer trainingsto groundlevel people.
o Summarizingbusinessperception,
SharePointis nota one-time configurationkindof product,
It needsto get evolvedall the time to effectively addressnewer & broaderbusinessneeds, keeping
the existing solutionsintact.
SharePointasa platform, is highly stable.
