Book Review: Enterprise Content Management with Microsoft SharePoint

I recently received a review copy of a great new resource by two AIIM "veterans," Shad White and Chris Riley, called Enterprise Content Management with Microsoft SharePoint.

If you are involved in a SharePoint implementation at your organization -- or if you are an SI in the SharePoint space -- you need this book.

The focus audience for the book is CIOs, marketing executives, project managers, and enterprise architects. The book focuses on how to:

• Design a scalable, easy-to-use content management repository
• Build an ECM team with specific project governance roles
• Gain stakeholder support for project and change management
• Foster user adoption by clarifying general IA concepts
• Organize content using SharePoint records management tools
• Configure content types, managed metadata, and site settings
• Examine processes for managing paper-driven vs. digital content
• Apply best practices for deploying SharePoint ECM features
• Support risk management and compliance regulations

It's worth checking out.
