As organizations rollout Microsoft SharePoint, a new ecosystem of content sharing, collaboration, and project libraries is introduced. This infrastructure is sometimes managed centrally by IT organizations, but more frequently it is a viral rollout based on departmental and project teams standing up SharePoint instances to provide spaces and places for local content. While this may provide benefits to specific teams, it also creates unique new challenges to IT organizations looking to provide aggregated access to content, secure corporate intellectual property, comply with regulatory or legal policies, and rollout enterprise search and content management tools across an increasingly diverse and distributed set of content stores and document owners.
