This brings us to the end of the chapter and the book. In this chapter, you have been introduced to some concepts and ideas of how to apply the knowledge gained from this book with your first SharePoint project or initiative.

As ever, we hope that you will be as impressed as we are with Microsoft's SharePoint 2010 release and understand the challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities of deploying and managing the SharePoint technology. More than that, we hope that you have enjoyed not just this chapter, but also the book, and that it has helped you to understand SharePoint from a business management standpoint.

With any technology you wind up with one of two things — the results of a project or the reason why you don't have the results. Results don't have to be explained. They just are.

From all of the writers involved with this book, good luck!
