Unlocking insights and measuring success across the social enterprise
SOLUTION BRIEF
Webtrends Analytics for SharePoint Intranets
Eighty percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on SharePoint for internal collaboration. But what started as a way to manage content and communication across organizations has evolved with the emergence of the social enterprise. Yesterday’s intranet has transformed into a more dynamic, user-friendly environment for interacting with information and people. Today, SharePoint is a powerful platform for enterprise collaboration and business productivity. Yet it can also be difficult to manage and measure. And without measurement, it is impossible to drive adoption and gauge success.
“Sharing information is critical to getting work done, especially in a global environment. From the very beginning, SharePoint has been about sharing. As the ways customers share information has evolved, so has the product.”
— Jared Spataro, Senior director of SharePoint Product Management for Microsoft
