I have been hearing a lot of chatter on Microsoft SharePoint lately. Seems like it is experiencing good adaptation rates by the enterprise customer. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is meant to help customers with Collaboration,Portals, Enterprise Search, Enterprise Content Management, Business Process and Forms and Business Intelligence. I looked at this product from two angle- first how we can use SharePoint and increase productivity within our company and second how can we dig deeper in the product APIs and build interfaces around it so that we can have our own custom application around it. As I write this, the research within our company at API level is still ongoing and I am sure we can find some value addition in this market and hopefully participate in this movement!
Microsoft does have a competitor in this market and that is none other than the Big blue IBM. It is called Lotus Quickr,and according to this article, IBM thinks (obviously) they have a better offering. Lets wait and watch, for now I am betting on Microsoft!
