As the real power of SharePoint comes with its tight integration with the Microsoft Office Suite I can not really use it.

What is undeniable though, is the level of out of the box integration between products that most people are already using. SharePoint WSS is a perfect add on to many businesses b/c they already own the server OS, the Exchange server, and the user CALs. From there a few thousand dollars gets you a very powerful workflow custom designed to your needs.

I have living proof of that. We added very robust, custom code to our internal workflows several years back and have never looked back. If you are a shop invested heavily in MS products already, SharePoint is a robust and cheap add-on. Brilliant marketing play by MS... 'cause we are hooked on the SharePoint-crack now!

If you see it from a corporate customer's point of view of needing to buy Microsoft CRM together with Share Point and Exchange before you see things tick, I would rather opt for vendor independent software applications that are modular.

i guess this Microsoft SharePoint are better than other Microsoft because there are such things that really help the web designer to manage their work properly, they have also a good concept and good features. This is remarkable.

Amen to that. A fully licensed version of Notes for a small business can just about put you out of business. My company looked at Notes as a possibility, but decided to look at alternatives as Notes was very, very expensive relative to the number of licenses.

Share point can share or access such office drives, printer, scanner without having a hard time I guess that is such an ease of time

What I love about Sharepoint the most is that its flexible enough to solve many business problems and help you seed in growth opportunities within the account and secure your position as your clients’ valued partner. Simply amazing.

I think Sharepoint is a really wonderful tool. It's much more cheaper and value for money comparing to some enterprise intranet systems like Lotus Notes that cost a bomb.

Sharepoint is a much cool & effective tool comparing to what SAP, IBM & Oracle had for this market.

I would tend to agree with your assessment that it is "just not that easy." I just completed another post on this where I said the installation was fairly simple, and then the real learning began. The concept was foreign to me, but as I have grown in my use of the solution and spoken with others on their applications, it is a rather interesting platform.

... and yes there is still a LOT of work that can be done to improve it... but it is most certainly an excellent stake in the sand for Microsoft.

This is one of the best descriptions of what SharePoint is and does that I've seen. I don't entirely agree with the "network Play-Doh" simile - it's just not that easy. As for "where to start," there are number of resources on Microsoft such as http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/sharepoi... that are useful. I personally think SharePoint is more friend than foe, although the usability of the interface still could use a lot of work.

Intentions and delivery are 2 separate things :-)

I would say it might work, but in it's current iteration it does not play well as each document must be imported. However, for smaller projects and team collaborations, SharePoint is most certainly the way to go and should be considered the platform for use as opposed to managing file and folder structures.

Microsoft SharePoint 2007 is really provisioning of an ease for those employees who wanna access office resources like their office drives, printer, scanner etc by sitting at home.. But does SharePoint intended to replace a full file server..??

We are already using Sharepoint server and seriously to realise the full potential of MS solution will cost a bomb.

Meta Secret, I would tend to agree overall. With MS, it is usually an all or nothing scenario. I was attempting to explain a workflow between an ASPX page that fed a SharePoint site web part, which drove a workflow with varioud e-mail notifications to someone, and they kept asking why we couldn't unhook it from Active Directory and Exchange and just run it as a stand alone application. My answer was MS just doesn't make products that way. To realize the full potential of an MS solution, you need all parts (which are not cheap) moving.

What is undeniable though, is the level of out of the box integration between products that most people are already using. SharePoint WSS is a perfect add on to many businesses b/c they already own the server OS, the Exchange server, and the user CALs. From there a few thousand dollars gets you a very powerful workflow custom designed to your needs.
