The Voice of the DBA Sharepoint Growth is Good

Oct 27, 2009 Sharepoint Growth is Good

I know lots of people that think Sharepoint is a mess of a product. It's a pain to deal with, and it's not well built. However I know quite a few people that see it as a great source of revenue for their consulting businesses. Did you know that it generated $1 billion in sales for Microsoft? Steve Ballmer talked about it recently at a conference, calling it an unsung hero.

There is a blog at ZDNet that talked about how Sharepoint is six products for Office bundled together, it has thousands of people working on it's development, and no one is quite sure where it fits in. Is it a content management system? Is it an enterprise social networking platform? I've never been quite sure what the big deal is.
