We release a comprehensive SharePoint evaluation

Added By Tony Byrne at 27-Mar-2008 | Twitter: @TonyByrne |

I'm very excited to announce the release of our latest evaluation report. This time, instead of covering a particular technology space, we take a hard look at a product that in many ways defies categorization: Microsoft SharePoint.

In conceiving this research, we had the needs of several different teams in mind:

• Project Managers and Leaders starting a SharePoint project, who want an honest assessment of the platform's potential value, as well as hidden "gotchas" and costs
• Strategic Decision-Makers who need to understand what boundaries to place around SharePoint, and where key gaps remain in the platform
• Technology Selection Teams who want to compare SharePoint to other technology alternatives
• Systems Integrators and Consultants who need to know where SharePoint excels and where it doesn't

We have a lot of things to say about SharePoint, but for starters, we observe that it has become "the new Lotus Notes," repeating history as it mimics Notes' allure and pitfalls. Read the full press release here.

If you are a full subscriber, you should receive your copy shortly; if you're a previous report buyer, you'll receive an e-mail in the next few days outlining discount eligibility.
