• But it can be made to do it
Demo
• Lets look at some of the SharePoint
functionality.
Deployment Options
For quick and cheap there’s the basic install
• Uses SQL Express• No or minimal configuration required• Single server for everything• Limited performance and scaling• Use for test, development or “play” environments• Do not use for production• Be careful test/trial does not become production!
Deployment Options
For longevity do a full install
• Uses full version of SQL so needs a license• Can require more hardware• Requires configuration beyond install• Scalable for performance• Use for production environment• Use for test and development environments too• Requires planning for best ROI

Deployment - Do’s and Don’ts
• Do get everyone involved• No single business unit can design SharePoint
• Do get users Trained in their relevant skills area to help the design process• Do establish a realistic timeframe• Do think of quick wins• Do plan for testing and re-design• Do plan on adding functionality over time.• Don’t try to make it too complex from day 1• Don’t copy your existing file structure• Don’t let SharePoint become a dumping ground• Don’t give users multiple places to do the same thing• Don’t waste in house development time when a cheaper 3rd party product
can do the job.• Don’t forget the Backup and Restore• Don’t forget the users – this is how you get your large ROI
Getting Users Involved
