What others say about The SharePoint Report 2009

"Microsoft tells you it's wonderful, competitors tell you it's awful, and there's not a lot in between. CMS Watch's latest report, the 190-page SharePoint Report, does an excellent job of covering the "in-between". The authors have done an outstanding job in documenting what SharePoint is (the six elements of the MOSS pie), in thinking about how and where it can be used effectively, and in giving prescriptive guidance to organizations that are considering SharePoint -- both to embrace the good, and to avoid the bad."
-- Michael Sampson, President, The Michael Sampson Company Ltd

"SharePoint has big strengths and weaknesses, and organisations should inform themselves before purchasing or deploying the solution. This will allow them to maximise their benefits, and mitigate the weaknesses. One of the best ways of acquiring this vital knowledge is through the purchase of The SharePoint Report from CMS Watch. This is packed with detailed information on all aspects of SharePoint, written in the same pragmatic and fearless style as all CMS Watch's reports."
-- James Robertson, Managing Director, Step Two Designs

" SharePoint promises a number of services (even more than its so-call 'six pillars'), but it doesn't necessarily deliver on all those promises to the extent customers hope or expect. With that in mind, KMWorld held a joint Webinar with CMS Watch, the leading vendor-neutral analyst firm in the country, to address exactly what people can expect from SharePoint."
-- Hugh McKellar, Editor, KMWorld Magazine

"...the clear definitions of business services, customer tiers and the rating system allows business analysts, knowledge workers and the CIO to gain a much more rounded insight to SharePoint."
-- Paul Culmsee, IT Consultant, Clever Workarounds

"Every organization that is looking at SharePoint should purchase this report; it's merely good governance to do so."
-- Michael Sampson, President, The Michael Sampson Company Ltd

"The SharePoint Report provides useful in depth technical information for the IT Manager while also providing a good overview for the non-technical business manager who wants to know where MOSS will be useful in solving their business dilemmas. This higher-level treatment includes lists of 'do's and don'ts' and highly readable tables summarizing the suitability of MOSS for use in various scenarios."
-- Toby Ward, CEO, Prescient Digital Media

"Where this report really excels is the fact that the authors understand that a straight out feature-fest overview of SharePoint is not going to help anyone but the tech-geeks. But since most tech-geeks don't actually control the budgets, sign the cheques ("checks" for my American friends) or determine strategy, that is not going to actually help anybody."
-- Paul Culmsee, IT Consultant, Clever Workarounds

"CMS Watch provides us with a review of SharePoint that helps us understand where and how it best fits - or doesn't - into the enterprise..."
-- Barb Mosher, Senior Editor, CMSWire.com

Report Excerpt

The SharePoint Report 2009 looks at... SharePoint's calendar and task integration with Outlook

"Instead think about SharePoint event lists like a calendar on your refrigerator. It's a place to post important events and general "public notices," but it in no way can it encourage participation, nor does it imply acceptance. With tasks, you get slightly better functionality, but again no reminders."
