SharePoint can provide value to enterprises by supporting new and collaborative ways of working. When deployed effectively, team and community collaboration technology consolidate apps and content that contribute to information overload and context-switching.

Enterprises must leverage governance, the right roles, and traditional enterprise content management (ECM) platforms to support their deployments. Forrester has synthesized best practices across company sizes and industries into a governance framework defining objectives, roles, responsibilities, and guidance for SharePoint.
