Sharepoint some cool stuff

I have heard about sharepoint for some time now but just haven’t had the time to do any exploring.  A couple of months ago I had was talking to the Network Administrator, Tim, at work about Sharepoint.  He indicated they had a sharepoint site already set up but that no one was using it.  In our weekly dev meeting I brought it up and Darren, the lead software tester, said he had used it when he was working for Visa.  Tim said he would set up the lastest version of Sharepoint and we could start playing around.

It has been a couple of months and I am amazed at the easy of use and ablity to customize.  In the next couple of months I am going to try to integrate some of the exsiting database information into the sight.  I am excited about the possibilities and even more satified with the very small amount of time it has take to make the site really useful.

Sharepoint

If you organization is a Microsoft Shop Sharepoint can be very valuable.   It will chage your life.  It is easy to setup, manage and customize.  It has functions for setting up blogs for everyuser and storing important document and files all in one place.  Over the last few months I have been setting up and managing a Sharepoint site for MicroMain.  I am not having to spend a ton of time, but I am adding a ton of functionality to the site.  Plus others are now using the site and adding features that make life easier and more productive at MicroMain.
