  • SharePoint Staffing Survey
    • Recently, Mindsharp conducted a survey about staffing in our customers' deployments. In this extended blog post, I'll outline what we learned and will offer some inductive conclusions on how organizations are staffing their SharePoint deployments.

  • How to Overcome Slow User Adoption of SharePoint
    • SharePoint is one of the fastest growing corporate technologies on the market today. Has the frequency of its use in your organization surpassed expectations? Just because your organization has deployed SharePoint does not mean it is being used successfully. In this whitepaper, we identify reasons end user adoption of SharePoint is slow in many companies and we offer ways to change that slow adoption. If companies create a SharePoint user adoption plan that meets end user needs, SharePoint will be a tool they depend on to work smarter and faster.
