Report Excerpt

The SharePoint Report 2008 looks at... Upgrading from WSS v2 / SPS 2003

"Moreover, the choices about how you upgrade will affect a variety of factors, including uptime of the existing and new system during the process, what functionality you can preserve, what system resources you need, and even what site names and URLs come out the other side."

(p. 163)

What's to like about SharePoint: Forms Services

16-Jul-2008

We're tough on SharePoint. That's because we frequently see enterprises wandering into the platform (thinking it's "easy" or "free") without always realizing the complexity of what they're about to get into.

Still, SharePoint has its merits, and it's worth re-iterating them from time to time to help you get the most value from your investment. One area where we think most customers underestimate the platform is with forms creation and processing (especially in the "MOSS" edition). There's some problems there, but also some good stuff, that's easy to use.

You can read more about it in today's release, "Enterprises Can Benefit from SharePoint's Underrated Electronic Forms Services," based on research from our SharePoint Report 2008.
