The phrase tends to have slightly different meanings to different people, and can refer to much more technical topics than those we will look at in this post. In the world of SharePoint management, Information Architecture typically refers to how content and documents are laid out across an Intranet system. This is what we will look at here. A good IA can be the difference between a usable system that is widely adopted by users, and one that struggles to get off the ground. In this post, we will look at what it takes to build a good IA in SharePoint. Planting the Seeds for a Good Information Architecture From a technical point of view,: • Text • Images • Videos • Documents • Lists of data • Forms • Social content The above elements can easily be added to a SharePoint environment using out of the box functionality. How they are organized, laid out, and thus accessed by users - that is very much up to those who are implementing the system. As a first step, it is important to realize that technology alone is not the answer. It must not be allowed to drive the solution. The key to this is to abstract yourself away from the technology, and focus on the types of content you want to store in your SharePoint environment. You should focus on understanding the content in isolation.
