The eight ways to control your SharePoint infrastructure loosely fall into three buckets -- 1) Improve infrastructure performance, 2) Assert governance and control over your SharePoint infrastructure, and 3) Get more out of your SharePoint investments. There’s no doubt that Microsoft SharePoint is big and here to stay as a platform for customized information sharing. A recent IDC study showed enterprise adoption or planned adoption of SharePoint at 70% -- and that figure seems conservative. Users are widely embracing SharePoint for tying together disconnected islands of data, integrating technology with business processes, and targeting and personalizing information for groups and individual users.
