SharePoint Consolidation Assessment —Since Microsoft's initial release of SharePoint, organisations have implemented SharePoint to meet a wide variety of business needs. Often these deployments have been tactical in nature, and not necessarily tied into an overall IT strategy. As a result, several organisations have experienced "SharePoint sprawl" - the proliferation of SharePoint throughout the environment as disconnected islands which house mission critical data.
