SharePoint enables organizations to work in a more
efficient manner by allowing users to share information in a safe and
uncomplicated manner. This .NET platform allows developers to create
applications, besides take leverage of its offered amazing features
such as document management capabilities, workflow engine and
security system. So, to use this grand platform in a better way,
SharePoint developers need to have a good understanding of all the
beneficial features that come with it.
In regards to SharePoint predictions for the coming
year, there are a number of points that need mention. Most
significantly, their should be an upward trend in customers using
SharePoint with increasing emphasis on its reduced customization in
the coming year. Microsoft considers customization not that crucial
as the process neither make the processes better nor optimizes user
experience. This may prove to be a good move as branding &
customization bring a number of major challenges in case of migration
projects. One of the main reasons behind SharePoint's customization
in the past though is the urge in developers to learn the platform
and try new things.
SharePoint development may have opened windows of
vast opportunities for the developers but it is also pretty true that
their have been few issues related to it. Firms have witnessed
challenges related with search server, RAM etc. This calls for an
essential performance optimization for SharePoint to enable it run
faster and more reliably. This is what ideally almost every IT firm
would be looking forward to.
Content and information hold paramount importance for
every firm but considering the current scenario it can be said that
many organizations are unaware of the content under their belt. It
can be said that in coming year, new SharePoint will treat
information confidentiality with high priority. Stress will be more
on minimizing the outflow of confidential information by offering
improvised rights management functionality along with better
encryption.
