3 Who is Hypercom? Hypercom is a global provider of electronic payment solutions for consumers, merchants, and acquirers. Multiple locations all over Europe and just increased footprint with acquisition of European competitor TeT. Have you bought something recently at Best Buy or Target?

(AK) –Support…don’t know how to fix it or enhance it? (AK) –Overall Lack of Governance and Process (AK) –US Centric and no support for other languages (AK) –No support for External Party Collaboration Impact of Challenges –SharePoint developed a bad name and is way under utilized. –People found other ways to get things done. –Mass s still used for corporate communication – used extensively for attachments –Data stored and shared in multiple formats ›Network drives, FTP, Intranet Sites –Difficulty finding information: documents, people, etc. Current Challenges
