Information technology departments are embracing Microsoft SharePoint
as a simple answer to a host of business information problems. However, SharePoint farms can quickly become difficult to manage, as sites proliferate
and become a nightmare for administrators. According to a recent article in
CMS Watch, “Unfortunately, as you grow very large SharePoint environments,
the controls that enterprises would want to see simply don't exist natively within the platform.”
Some of the most common challenges administrators face today include: poorly managed permissions leading to security gaps, uncontrolled growth of sites and site collections, limited visibility into user activity, depleted or poorly utilized SharePoint resources, and the need to centrally control users, sites and site collections.
