We’ve tried with mixed success to roll out SharePoint in our company to give everyone access to important files, contacts, etc. where ever they are.

Couple of problems with SharePoint
- Out of the box it doesn’t work with BlackBerry’s
- The interface can be terribly slow to work with
- Extending takes a real computer programmer

To solve the issue we’re switching to a Mac Mini Server running their wiki and blog functionality. I can see this becoming my marketing teams best friend!

It’s everything SharePoint is not, simple, limited features, clean interface, loads lightning fast, and is collaborative. It doesn’t do a lot, but it does what we need which is disseminate info and encourage feedback.

I think the differences the two technologies are a clash of cultures. Keeping it fresh and relevant is important for our key product categories.
