An AIIM survey of 512 organizations has found that while a majority of organizations use SharePoint, less than half use it at the enterprise level. And while most use MOSS 2007 only at the department level, most deployments are quite shallow.
While MOSS is being used for its ubiquitous file sharing capabilities, it is very rarely used for more advanced functions including:
-
Web content management
-
Digital asset management
-
Business Process automation
-
Records management
-
Forms management
Of those tools and applications that are being used sometimes:
-
Search
-
Collaboration
-
Portal
-
Document management

Thanks for the mention of the webinar and research. You are right, the data was influenced by MOSS users. We started with a full open population – from that 67% – not too far from your statistics – said they were production level users. I then focused on them. The remainder of the report is based on the opinions and experiences of USERS.
By the way, let your readers know that more information about the study and the slides I used are available for free at
