Opinions on Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007?

Posted on 23 May 2007 by

I work for a relatively small engineering and sales company with about 30 employees in-house (lots of traveling) and we also work with many vendors and contract engineer companies. It will likely always be about this size.

We are looking at Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007 with Office Suite 2007 as a possibility to tie together all of our departments under one roof:

- Document Control
- Workflow Management
- Project Management
- Team task tracking
- Sales’ client relations management
- Order workflow
- Inventory and shipping management
- HR employee data
- Accounting and payroll
- Automated reports
- Strong access control
- Practically ‘hand-holding’ employees through many processes to enforce company standards

We are looking for reviews on the product for those areas. Any articles or personal experience, especially from a professional or IT point of view?

Thank you!

Chosen Answer:

I work as an IT Manager and I would never use Sharepoint Server in my company and here is why.

we use Citrix and Terminal Servers for remote users and VPN.
We use Exchequer Enterprise for Accounting and payroll
We use HR manager for HR
Strong acces control can be acheived without Sharepoint
we use finjan for content control
we use barracuda for mail scanning/virus/antispam

sharepoint might work for you but that is lasy option which is for companies with limited IT budget and just because it has everything in there you might need it doesn’t mean that will fulfill your requirements

all the best

What do you think of Joomla?

Posted on 02 April 2007 by

I’m checking the possibility of setting up Joomla (http://www.joomla.org/) but I’m used to work With SharePoint.
Please let me know if you have something I should know before. Thanks

Chosen Answer:

we have analyzed many Open Source Content Management Systems. Of all Joomla is best as far as features are concerned. If you are looking at building a comprehensive portal slowly and incrementally Joomla is a best choice.

However if you are trying to build simple websites, I do not suggest Joomla. There are many other open source / commercials CMSs which are much more light weight than Joomla and provide the basic features.

Whereas Joomla is little heavy as it is architected for extension and comprehensive features set.

However Drupal is a choice if you are looking for fixed features.
