(Re-purposing staff vs. building a hybrid team to suit the business needs and functionality of SharePoint.The myth of the SharePoint superhero. Different types of SharePoint Superheroes.What a team of superheroes is composed of Some companies are getting stuck on this question. Murshed can speak directly to this.Murshed:bullet point you will describe the example of a law client of ours who came to us right when they had implemented a SharePoint environment. But, they hadn’t planned in advance to properly staff the implementation and initially tried to repurpose their existing IT staff, which was filled with .Net developers, to ready the organization for the move and set aside a very meager budget for a SharePoint specialist, not realizing that SharePoint specialists are in ridiculously high demand and can command salaries twice that being offered. Consequently, we couldn’t find anyone to fill the position given their resources and after weeks of trying to help, we left them with the position still open.
- Sam:SharePoint is an ecosystem that has a multitude of different uses.Understanding this has everything to do with the type of team you build.

- People are inspired by the successes of their peers. They can see from case studies why this is the direction that enterprise IT technology is heading. They want to take advantage of SharePoint within their own enterprise. This is the right decision. In the staffing they observe people who see these case studies, understand this is the direction IT is heading and consequently want to adopt SharePoint for their environment. Like a kid seeing their classmate with a new toy and they want it too.
- Sam:SharePointcan be a great business decision. However, there are landmines in implementing any large enterprise application, and there are a number of important factors that must be kept in mind to maximize the success of SharePoint adoption and implementation. Failing to do so could cause undue hardships for any organization
- Sam:It is important to start viewing SharePoint as a business solution not an IT product. This impacts how they interact with it, and who all is involved in the strategy and design.

- People should understand that SharePoint – especially when you’re just starting out – requires that business act methodically and patiently. It must understand that to a certain extent you’re going to learn in the fire. This is every company’s experience, yes, even those with great success stories. In the end it is well-worth the effort, even those who got off to a rocky start can turn it around and leverage SharePoint for its’ great business value, and conclusively show, a substantial and ever-growing ROI
- Client from the government industry wanted some SharePoint developers to help guide an implementation after they saw another company in his department using the software.
