DISQUS

Rahul Jain · 1 year ago

IMO, SharePoint is a platform. It depends on how you use it. You may or may not have noticed, we use it as Wiki for knowledgebase and Work Management (basically a customized issue tracker for internal work assignment). We have not started using it as a full fledged collab tool yet, just because there is lack of awareness or (I shouldn't say) maybe there is not a real need. Of course I am no expert.

I agree with you Rahul. The problem I have is that the Wiki functionality is so crippled. The structure of sharepoint encourages segregation of knowledge and then makes it troublesome to link between these discrete knowledgebases.

Hopefully other products will complement the core Sharepoint platform to improve the situation. I am thinking SocialText for example.

It does make me wonder if Microsoft really gets modern collaboration - or are they stuck back in the document centric mindset of the mid 90's?
