A simple, highly reliable collaboration platform
“Why is Microsoft SharePoint easier? Because SharePoint is all one platform. It’s the same application, it’s the same deployment story, it’s the same underlying platform that lets you write and reuse templates and code and all this stuff, rather than building a whole hodgepodge of different systems and asking people to relearn and retrain on these different things.”
“I think some people have this impression that business software has to be hard. That it has to be really complicated. I don’t think that’s the case.”
“SharePoint is also a very rich development platform. In addition to the core applications, we have a number of surfaces that allow you to develop your own solutions. You can do pretty much anything with SharePoint.”
“I’m really pumped for SharePoint 2010. We’ve got new wikis, blogs, taxonomy and a much slicker user experience across the board. On the coding side, we’ve got sandbox solutions so you don’t need to be an admin to get your stuff used, and an object model that you can call from the clients so you can get at SharePoint data from anywhere. A ton of new stuff.”
