Why Your SharePoint 2013 Upgrade Could Fail!

There are many companies all over the world who are busy migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.  
What will you do differently this time? There is a brilliant banner on this subject.
How will your SharePoint business run tomorrow?  How is it running today?  Do you have good governance in place, a support team, efficient training.
Over and over again we hear how businesses won’t put anymore money into SharePoint because the 2007 version was a failure. 
The reason why SharePoint was bought in the first place is seldom for the right ones. At times licenses are free on the Enterprise Agreement businesses wil just take al the licences.
There are very seldom the right skills internally to manage a platform like SharePoint. IT Departments everywhere continue to treat SharePoint like any other software. 
 As a result, everything falls down.
Then a new version comes out, then they say the answer to all your problems is SharePoint 2013.  And so an upgrade is scheduled.
But refer back to the poster now.  What are you going to do differently with SharePoint 2013?  If you follow the same path you did in SharePoint 2010 without any changes to your strategy – what makes you think 2013 will succeed? It won’t.  It will just get worse, SharePoint is more powerful than ever before.
It is a bitter pill to swallow for the people with the cheque books, I get that, really; and it’s even harder for the people who have to write that motivation for the extra investment.
SharePoint has unbelievable capabilities that can offer business professionals endless ways to streamline their paperwork, communicate and share better.  But it takes a change in culture, someone actively driving it every single day to succeed, ongoing education and support of all the roles – and unfortunately that takes money.
The alternative is fail again.  So what changes do you need to make?  If you don’t know what to do, call in help what costs even more?
