What others say about The SharePoint Report 2009

"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

"I have a huge respect for the folks at CMS Watch, and can unreservedly recommend this report. Considering the costs involved in SharePoint, this will be the smallest investment you'll make, for the biggest return."
-- James Robertson, Managing Director, Step Two Designs

"...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

"The SharePoint Report is perhaps the most thorough analysis of the solution to date and is based on real-world use of the product within numerous organizations and it is 'designed to assist both Business and Technology Managers to figure out where, why and how to apply SharePoint.'"
-- 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

"The quality of the analysis and the writing is exemplary, and I cannot comprehend how any organisation contemplating a MOSS07 implementation of any scale could justify not purchasing a copy at a price somewhat less than a single day of consulting from the nearest Microsoft channel partner. Chapter 6 alone would give a return on the investment."
-- Martin White, Managing Director, Intranet Focus

" 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

"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
