SharePoint 2010 Governance: A Matter of Design

The importance of governance for SharePoint has frequently been honored more in the breach than the observance. It's no mystery why. Ungoverned SharePoint environments frequently descend into chaos, while many governance plans require large investments in planning and paperwork.

At Greystone, we believe that governance should be designed into the solution -- not applied as a separate layer. This results in faster, better implementations as well as sustainability of the solution.

In this seminar we will share with you our patterns and good practices for SharePoint governance. Face-to-face in Boston, September 23, 2010.
