Workgroup productivity:
Taxonomy, search, & Sharepoint
September, 2004 |
Many companies are installing Microsoft's Sharepoint
program to help workgroups publish, manage, and share information. Sharepoint
is appealing because it:
- offers a "self-service" way for
groups to create collaborative workspaces;
- provides a central directory and unified search
function for all the workspaces;
- leverages existing investments in Microsoft Office
and the Windows operating system.
But to get the most out of Sharepoint, IT staff must
configure the system for effective search and navigation as well as offer
training and support to local groups. How to do this was the subject of
our September 29 roundtable, summarized
below.
The summary covers the following topics:
1. Sharepoint background
2. Why companies are installing Sharepoint
3. The role of organization schemes (taxonomies)
in Sharepoint
4. Sharepoint at Unisys as discussed by Suzanne Sheppard,
the featured guest.
5. Comments from roundtable participants
