We asked implementers if they thought SharePoint was the right decision for their business when they originally went for it. It would be easy to focus on the 9% who feel it was a poor decision rather than the 55% who are positive about it – although half of those found it tougher going than they expected

In my experience, the type of education that is most impactful in terms of setting organizations up for success with SharePoint is aimed at IT and business Decision Makers and provides a broad understanding of how SharePoint maps to various business-technical needs. The focal point should be: How SharePoint fits into the business objectives of the organization at the enterprise level What organizational structures need to be put in place to define and support the use of SharePoint (e.g. a Governance Committee, User Adoption Strategy, Content Taxonomy) How various SharePoint features can be used and/or combined to replace or complement existing systems and processes (e.g. the Corporate Intranet, Line of Business Applications, legacy ECM solutions) At a minimum, I think Decision Makers need to understand, at a high level , what the following features are and how they might be used to solve common business-technical problems: Various options for implementing Web-based Data Input Forms and Workflows in SharePoint Document Libraries, Document Sets, the Document ID Service and Remote Blob Storage Enterprise Content Types & the Managed Metadata Service Content Organizer, Drop-off Library and Content Organization Rules In-place Records Management in SharePoint 2010 Integration Support including Business Connectivity Services (BCS), the Business Data Catalog, SharePoint Web Services, etc
