i-Squared announces a new performance measurement method for SharePoint

i-Squared Inc., a Pittsburgh based consultancy specializing in Enterprise Content Management (ECM), has announced the availability of a new performance measurement method for SharePoint sites called the CPR Report (Collaboration Performance Report).

“SharePoint deployments have two distinct design components, a Technical Architecture and an Information Architecture. Most SharePoint assessments focus on the technology but fail to measure the key Information Architecture factors critical to SharePoint's success - leaving them very much in need of CPR (pun intended).

We've developed a methodology that analyzes the key (and often overlooked) Information Architecture components. We measure and rate success factors like budget vs. objectives, adherence to strategy, cross-department governance, content structure, taxonomy and metadata design, and many other factors. The results are delivered in an Executive summary using graphs that visually identify strength and weaknesses.  We call it the CPR Report”, said Joyce Query, President of i-Squared.

Query added, “SharePoint is the most prevalent portal tool in use these days and many organizations are evolving it as a strategic collaboration platform. We expect this new service to be very attractive to any firm needing to benchmark new SharePoint projects or those trying to ensure they're getting the most from what they have”.
