What the experts say about SharePoint 2010

By

I’ve been labeledВ  a “SharePoint hater” by more than one SharePoint consultant. I snicker to myself every time I think of it 🙂

The truth: I like SharePoint; I use SharePoint; SP powers our own intranet at Prescient Digital Media.

SharePoint 2010SharePoint is not everything for everybody and is not a good fit for all organizations. Tell this to an over-zealous SharePoint consultant who has the knee-jerk reflexes of a Jimmy Jones’ Kool-Aid convert, and you too can become part of the “SharePoint hater” club.

Seriously though, is the Kool-Aid cherry, orange, or a swamp-water?

Okay, seriously…. any technology has both strengths and weaknesses; SharePoint is no exception. In fact, it has more strengths than weaknesses (if you can afford it, you are a .NET organization, it meets your business requirements, and have the skills to administer and govern it). Among its many strengths, in my opinion:

  • Enterprise content management
  • Taxonomy and managed metadata
  • Social media
  • Integration with Office
  • Enterprise search
  • Business intelligence

But don’t take my word for it, see what the experts have to say: SharePoint 2010: Experts Dish on the Good and Not So Good
