Challenges Associated with SharePoint
The Challenge
Fast growing application.
Unstructured Data
Planning, strategy, design and
deployment
The Reason..
This growth consists of multiple data types including structured and the fast growing
unstructured data. And finally, the increase in the number of users and the pace at

No clear vision and evolving business requirements
Lack of scalability with poor economic scaling SQL server licenses
Uncontrolled growth
SQL not optimized for file level access and SharePoint often stores large files
like media and videos.
ROI/TCO uncertainty
Lost productivity and competitiveness if data is not available due to
infrastructure failures
Inability to get timely insight out of information due to slow query response
and application performance
Data growth impedes data protection and recovery
Negative impact on collaboration and information sharing due to
infrastructure limitations
