It was interesting this morning as I browsed the blogs and SharePoint news this morning and found an article about some of the slowest SharePoint sites out there on the net. I couldn't help but smile as I saw some of the biggest names such as Dollar General and even the U.S. Marines who have droves of SharePoint talent and developers working on their sites....... and yet there they were on a list showing them as one of the worst performing sites out there!
Well, as one of my old bosses used to say "Less is more" and all that "branding" and development comes at a cost. I can almost see their teams working almost daily on performance issues, tweaking this and that to try and get things to work like they should.
I think these guys need to refocus and get back to basics. Pretty shouldn't be at top of the list, nor should you connect and hack everything on the backend of SharePoint just because you can. If you do, you're going to pay for it down the road in the form of instability, constant support issues, upkeep, maintenance, costs, and more. Before you know it your fun loving, functional, productive SharePoint site becomes a monster you can no longer control. Sure you think you got it under control and it's all those SharePoint people you've hired that are not doing their job right or things would work better.....
just sayin.
