[BNM] sharepoint views
Simon Early
What's the general view on Sharepoint?
is it a big player, with a future etc, or have other technologies become
the preffered option?
is there a future in it etc?

Lipstick on a pig. All .asp & .net underneath. So yeah, of course its used
in loads of places. But if you value your sanity, stay well away.

or moving to SharePoint.
The bigger tge company, the more likely they are to be using it. The
integration is just irresistible.
There are big problems with it out of the box, but I've seen impressive
things done with it when configured and reskinned.

thinking of playing in the intranets space, it is a big deal, particularly
2010, wth its social and cloud capabilities.

I'm just finishing a contract with a company with 150k employees, all
running SharePoint on some level. Part of my role was heavily involved in
evaluating SP usage for various UI/UX project. I have to say that the
system is a big turd in cheap lipstick. Difficult difficult
lemon bloody difficult. Worst of all, in terms of US< there is massive
inequity between on-line and offline features so lists and forms are
really, horribly unreliable. Also, don't get me started about the horrible
desktop clients...
I would totally agree with Louise that big companies are getting behind it,
but I would question what that means in terms of good/bad judgements? Keep
in mind that these same companies are keeping IE6 and SAP alive. They
likely have enormous LDAP and Exchange systems in play already and closer
business relationships with Microsoft (I had the ear of an SP champion
inside MS for any technical requests for a while) so it's much easier for
them to roll-out an enormous system that inherits it's look and feel from
MS desktop products, sh*tty or not...
I for one will be glad to see that back of this horrible system.

If web designers ran the world, eh? Not procurement processes.

work/projects to be had in the future" rather than architecture
and Microsoft-bashing.
After all, from a personal viewpoint, I started off with Unix (loved it,
simple, worked), went onto windoze (lots of toys , that kept breaking, but
was fun while it worked), then Ubuntu for a bit of fun - fast, simple,
great, but then I woke up and needed to work in the real world to now
<gasp> a Mac! (it just works, but you cant alter it and it costs double the
price of anything else>, so I'm a bit of a mongrel. Despite me hating
restrictions.
In term of work, is it something to bit the bullet and get into?- Bearing
in mind I went down the ColdFusion Route and Betamax many moons ago :-(
Louise Hewitt
The companies I'm referring to are on the scale of are on the scale of HSBC
and Microsoft themselves, so if that's your target group then definitely
yes. For smaller teams there is a trend toward homegrown integration
platforms for 3rd party services like Google,seearch + jive + yammer etc.
Or the more friendly packages like thoughtfarmer.
Hope this helps.
NB I'm content/ux/strategy focused so I can't speak for the tech issues

Gmail hides all that for me under 'quoted text' foldaway areas so unaware
it was *that* bad :p
