o Takes more time“ If development is required, it’s because SharePoint cannot satisfy the organisations unique requirements “out of the box”, and something “custom” needs to be built.

Custom development in SharePoint is regarded as the last resort, while an IT developer sees this as the first option, placing them in a situation they are not comfortable with right from the start.”
