SharePoint 2013 Best Practices eBook

If you work with SharePoint 2013, you might be interested in my SharePoint 2013 Best Practices eBook. I have been working with SharePoint technologies since its inception in 2001. The eBook is loaded with the lessons I have learned over the years. Obviously, the focus of this book is on SharePoint 2013. For those of you who are still on the previous version of SharePoint, I also wrote a book on SharePoint 2010 Best Practices.

Microsoft SharePoint is a Web-based software platform designed for collaboration and sharing of information. It offers secure, centralized access to enterprise information and is useful for digital record management that meets government and industry compliance standards. SharePoint is a user-friendly product due to its tight integration with Microsoft Office suite and a Web-based interface.

SharePoint does so much, it is almost impossible to define it in a few words. It is a CRM solution, a personal organizer, a shared calendar, a contacts database, an interactive Web site, a document management system, a records management tool, a social networking platform, and so much more. Although SharePoint is easy to use, if you don’t follow certain guidelines and best practices you can end up wasting valuable time and resources.

By following the best practices documented in this eBook, you will be better equipped with the knowledge to ensure that you are using the proper site template that suits your business needs, save time, work faster and smarter, avoid common pitfalls, organize your metadata and content better, enhance security of your data, and speed up the process of searching your content to get a better return on your investment.
