We are looking into using SharePoint as a collaboration portal for construction projects. We need to accommodate both internal and external users, store and track documents, issues, etc.
I am trying to put together a plan for moving forward, and need to come up to speed on organizing the site:
- Setting up web applications
- Mixing forms based and integrated authentication.
- When to use separate site collections, vs. using sub-sites.
- custom content-types vs. built-in.
...and wanted to put together a reading list. Need some technical instruction, but the planning and organization is more important at the moment. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
John
