Abstract:
Effectively managing enterprise content is a growing challenge for organizations today. Cloud-based computing represents a powerful new option, offering increased flexibility, efficiency, and reduced cost for IT infrastructure, data storage, and applications. However, for a variety of business and technical reasons, most organizations will take a phased approach to adopting cloud-based services, which will require them to continue to maintain their on-premises SharePoint environments during the transition.Therefore, many organizations will have, at least for a time, a “hybrid” SharePoint deployment – one in which they must partition the capabilities of business applications across both their on-premises environment and a cloud-hosted environment. Investing in maturing a strong IT governance model will be essential to managing those hybrid deployments effectively.
