Governance and Training

From my experience, the technology is not expensive, when compared to most DMS / ECM / portal solutions. The costs come later, further down the road, when mistakes have already been made and the reputation of the solution is allready marred.

It's almost too easy to get a SharePoint farm up and running. There's not nearly enough governance, design, or training going into most implementations. The system is put into place before the challenges are clearly defined and the capabilities and limitations are understood.

The SharePoint 2009 conference is next week, a sold out show of over 7,000 attendees. It's supposed to preview the next version which is slated to have major changes such as Visio services, improved workflow, and a much improved and renamed BDC. I'm surprised and a little disappointed that Google Wave and the raging OS debate have been given more coverage than an event centered on software that 1/3 of companies are using.
