Keys to Planning For SharePoint Search
Mike Oryszak
pOf the core planning areas in SharePoint, Search seems to get very little attention.#160; I find this surprising since one of the most common complaints from SharePoint implementations (or any Enterprise Information System) is that users cannot find “anything” in the system.#160; Most of the environments I go into have Search configured in only a very basic sense; a search site was created and crawling is scheduled.#160; To really get value out of the search features, and to greatly enhance [read].

User Profiles – Driving Business Process
Mike Oryszak
pThe workflow features first introduced in WSS 3.0/MOSS in 2007 and enhanced in the 2010 offerings present an opportunity for organizations with SharePoint to start to automate the coordination of their business processes.#160; While many have been working with it, one of the limitations I have seen is that everything is localized to a particular site or process.#160; In many cases there are configuration or user attributes managed in a local list that can be used as a data source.#160; /p h4Man [read].
