The problem is that there is an equally massive SharePoint skills gap in the market to fulfil this burgeoning need which is both an opportunity and a challenge for partners:
Opportunities
| 1. | Shortage of skills means partners can charge top consulting rates |
| 2. | SharePoint enables partners to move away from "me too" technologies (A.D., Exchange etc.) to more strategic client relationships |
Challenges
| 1. | Partners will have to pay very high salaries to secure scarce SharePoint resources |
| 2. | Putting a team together will be a very expensive commitment |
| 3. | When projects get delayed these resources become very expensive overheads |
| 4. | There is an economic downturn expected and no partner will want to invest speculatively however exciting the market opportunity looks |
| 5. | You could retrain your own internal staff - this will take a much longer period of time and when they are suitably trained they'll move on to much higher salaries |
| 6. | You could use contractors but they they are demanding the highest rates, offer no loyalty to the partner and there is a lack of continuity. |
