SharePoint environment(s) should support and facilitate your organization’s business processes, without causing a lot of resource overhead. Speakers review some tactical activities you can perform to support the strategic management of your SharePoint environment from a business perspective. They discuss a number of low-tech activities that they have used to facilitate business processes throughout their organization. By grounding SharePoint use in the business, and using primarily out-of-the-box functionality, the speakers provide solutions that solve organizational business problems, and enable their users to gain efficiencies, allowing more time to focus on the complex tasks at hand.
