What is Your Firm Doing With SharePoint?

Author: Michael Sampson >

With Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to enhance the capabilities of SharePoint, it is fascinating to see how those capabilities work through to becoming part of an organization’s information strategy. For example, SharePoint has supported team collaboration for a long time, so we should expect that there would be good penetration of those capabilities in the market by now. Alternatively, social collaboration is a relatively new area for SharePoint, so we should expect lower levels of adoption today.

But what is really going on?

I am looking for a sense of what’s going on with SharePoint today, across geographies, across industries, across SharePoint capability sets. I have put together a super-quick survey – 3 questions, 3 minutes – and would love for you to take it.

After 46 responses, the survey results look like this:


BUT … in order to do an industry-by-industry comparison, I need a lot more respondents … 1,000 more. Can you be one of them?

A couple of notes:

  • The survey results will be posted at no charge to my blog, http://currents.michaelsampson.net/
  • There are 5 copies of my book up for grabs, SharePoint Roadmap for Collaboration.

Here’s the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/sharepoint-what

Thanks for your help …

    Submitted mine – I’d be interested to see what results come in from the accountancy/financial services sector. I had a chat with a UK based firm about this very thing and SharePoint doesn’t seem to be penetrating this sector very well so would be good to see if any improvements here.
