"Why are business still willing to make investments in the latest Microsoft blessed framework?"
For me, the real question is why are they willing to make bad investments in technology. SharePoint is designed to make it easy to set up a cluster. One of our clients has thousands of users on a single SharePoint front end, because there's "something wrong" with their load balancer. So they don't even do round-robin DNS. Surprise - it's slow!
In other words, they don't even have the ability to run SharePoint well, and you want them to put something together themselves? The SharePoint admin is already outsourced, so it seems like they don't even have the ability to identify quality outsourcing. How are they supposed to figure out a better solution?
- Random_Person 15y agoPlease tell me you didn't sell this to your client. Every single day I have to deal with vendors pushing bad technology on the Department of Education because they are trying to make a buck. In cases like this, it is not the businesses fault. They saw something they thought was cool, some vendor told them "sure, we can do that" and a few hundred-thousand later, guess what... it doesn't work.
- three14 15y agoWe didn't sell them SharePoint, but everything I've seen there says that SharePoint isn't the problem. SharePoint could have worked well for them if they just had one person on staff who knew what they were doing and were allowed to do it. The bad investment is in the whole IT organization and not the software.
