“… the set of roles, responsibilities, and processes that you put in place in an enterprise to guide the development and use of a solution based on SharePoint Products and Technologies.”
Is SharePoint Governance on your mind? If so, we believe that our new Site Provisioning Assistant product for SharePoint 2007 may help you to get a bit more sleep at night. Just as SharePoint MVP Shane Young and Microsoft’s Joel Oleson were quick to point out upon viewing a demonstration of SPA from our TechEd booth, Site Provisioning Assistant provides key features to assist in your SharePoint Governance strategy.
In a recent blog Post, Joel Oleson identifies a key component to SharePoint Governance as:
“… Self Service approach to deployment (bottoms up) - how can I keep Help desk from being a bottleneck to information worker productivity.”
We couldn’t agree more, and that is exactly why we developed the SPA add-on for WSS v3 and MOSS 2007. With Site Provisioning Assistant, you can automate the process of handling requests for new WSS v3.0 and MOSS 2007 sites. As a SharePoint administrator, SPA provides you with a solution to these key questions:
- How can I enable our users to have the SharePoint sites they need in a timely manner, but maintain the integrity of our organization"s taxonomy?
- How can I give my users an easy to use, consistent interface for requesting new SharePoint sites?
- How can I automate my organization"s approval process for requesting new SharePoint sites?
For more information or to download an evaluation copy of SPA, visit the Site Provisioning Assistant Product home page.
