In our blog about SharePoint last week, we quoted the statistic that 71% of workers in big organisations “ask around” in order to find experts in their own companies.

But if you rely on asking colleagues to find an internal expert for a project,  how can you be sure that your colleagues will be able to recommend someone who has the specific expertise, experience or skill sets you need? And if you work for a large organisation, how can you find out what kind of internal talent and expertise exists in your company?

One of the key benefits of implementing Microsoft SharePoint in your organisation is that it has powerful enterprise search functionality that makes it easy to locate internal experts and specialist resources.

Using SharePoint’s advanced people search capabilities, you can quickly and accurately search an enterprise-wide repository by department, job title, expertise, social distance and even common interests, and find collaborators and project partners with the specific experience and skill sets you need.
