Intelligent Information Management (IIM)
Where has the action been in technology over the past decade? I can tell you one thing for certain. It has been in a very different place than it was during the early stages of my professional career. For most of my career, the action has been in PC-centric applications and solutions that were delivered by the IT gods and goddesses at the organizations for which I worked. I have been lucky to work for some pretty flexible organizations, but most of the time, I was a pretty good corporate citizen even without mandates or restrictions. It was rare that I would covet some piece of software or hardware from home and wish I could get it at work. Enterprise IT was a pretty cool place.

Before consulting on any SharePoint project, a little detective work on the IT department can really pay off. One reason for this is that SharePoint has a reputation for being a "disruptive" technology. Let's deconstruct what this term means with respect to IT office politics before getting to the wrecking strategy detailed below. First, we must acknowledge that SharePoint doesn't really fit any of the standard categories used to manage IT applications. It's not an ECM system in the sense of being exclusively focused on that function alone, though it can be used to manage content. It's not a search engine, though it can search across many types of content. It manages web content, but it manages lots of other content too. And finally, the straw that we always grasp at, it's a "collaboration" platform, which is fuzziness itself when bean counters try to measure its ROI.
