I came across a new new YouTube video titled IBM Connections vs. Microsoft SharePoint: Social Personal File Management posted by Brandon Seppa on June 21, 2011.  This video is clearly an IBM produced video that touts the file handling features of IBM Connections vs Microsoft SharePoint 2010. The video is 31 minutes long and covers […]

OK, let’s explore one of the fundamental reasons why different user groups in our organization need different tools from the SharePoint BI stack.  It boils down to the ‘degree’ of self-service functionality they are comfortable/capable of using.  Several years ago the promise of ‘pervasive BI’ meant the information worker would not only have all core […]

PC Week has an article on Sharepoint in the cloud.  I’m seeing the desire for cloud services among all vendors although Microsoft seems to be sprinting in that direction rather than the running by IBM and other vendors.  I love the quotes about people building applications on sharepoint and that it’s “many things to many […]

In a previous post, I talked about Gartners prediction of a “seismic shift” in the portal market.  In one of the last session of the Gartner Portal, Content & Collaboration 2011 Summit, Gene Phifer spoke about the future of portals.  Gene is convinced that the portal market (and mashup market) will be “subsumed” by a […]

Via a tweet by our Microsoft fellows at Perficient, CMS Wire has a short post out about five things you can do to make your migration successful.  The key theme seems to be that you need to make it an enterprise solution and put some thought into it.
