Web Analytics Tools in SharePoint 2010 are More Brilliant than they Appear

P1000142At a breakout session at the SharePoint 2009 conference, one that is going over the new Web Analytics features in SharePoint 2010.  

My first impression of the stats package for SharePoint was sort of a “finally!” so that there could be some means of seeing if people were using your SharePoint site without having to go to web logs or some sort of 3rd-party analytics package.  But then, after the analytics break-out session, it became pretty apparent to me that this was a real powerful “sleeper” feature that is really a lot more important and profound than most anyone else besides someone like Avinash Kaushik might think. 

First of all, yes – it will be nice for content stewards and IT managers to be able to use the new build-in analytics package to tell if people are logging on to their SharePoint site or not.  However, the value is a bit deeper here, and that is that SharePoint – by original design – is a distributed content platform, where the people who really care whether or not content is being viewed is the people who created the content themselves, or the content stewards that really want to make sure that the information is being distributed around the company. 

In addition to the reporting console features that admins can use, there is also an analytics web part that can then be packaged back into the site, and can be used to highlight popular tags, highly-rated files, and other such analytics data, which can then be visible for all SharePoint users.

Making this sort of analytical data broadly available then enhances and drives the whole SharePoint ecosystem within the company, as then everyone can rapidly see what sorts of things are popular, or what sorts of things are being searched for a lot which they have information for.

The presenter at this breakout had a nice slide that depicted the phenomena:
