I’m pleased to announce the release of our latest report:

Governance and support for SharePoint team sites
A best practice case study

Microsoft SharePoint is now rapidly spreading through organisations. In terms of team collaboration, this is meeting a very real need.

If unmanaged, however, this explosive growth will generate more problems than benefits. What is needed is clear governance and support, and this best practice case study shows the way. A must for any organisation planning on deploying SharePoint team sites.

This 24-page report features a case study from Transfield Services, a global services firm headquartered in Australia, which won a Gold Award in the 2008 Intranet Innovation Awards.

Transfield’s key innovation was productising their approach to collaboration spaces with ‘Team Sites in a Box’, and compiling a near-perfect design, support and governance methodology and model, which then saw rapid, but controlled uptake within the organisation.

This report provides an example of an organisation that has “done it”, vital evidence when building senior management support for establishing appropriate governance and support for collaboration tools.

If you’re working with SharePoint team sites or considering rolling them out, this case study is a must-have. Using these recommendations on collaboration, support, and governance, you can avoid the typical and costly collaboration space mistakes and make your project a success from the start.

You can purchase the report for just US$89, a tiny up-front investment to head your SharePoint deployment in the right direction.

Alternatively, you can purchase the full Intranet Innovations 2008, which features the Transfield case study and over a dozen other leading intranet innovation case studies, for just US$189.
