Most conversations about enterprise information or records management these days seem to involve SharePoint in one way or another. Many organizations are finding that information management is not meeting their expectations and some are wondering if SharePoint 2010 is the answer to all of their problems. Whether this push is coming from IT hoping to reduce costs, your portal team hoping for a new intranet or your user community hoping that that SharePoint will be easier to use (or all of the above), there can be no doubt that many organizations are considering a move to SharePoint.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Sharepoint and Office 365
With the release of SharePoint 2010 in beta and the anticipated production release sometime in the first half of 2010 (one source says it will be released late in Q1, but that’s a full-blown rumor, so don’t hold me to that), it is time to provide an update on the latest incarnation of Microsoft’s collaboration/content management/business intelligence/portal/ECM/records management tool. In an earlier post, I listed Eight Things SharePoint 2010 Needs to be a True ECM System, and, at first glance, the new version looks very encouraging from an ECM perspective. As I’ve said before, I get excited by anything that can help my clients better manage their information, and SharePoint has the potential to be a transformative platform bridging structured content, unstructured content, and social computing in one flexible package. SharePoint 2007 does a decent job of this, but it has some deficiencies when it comes to managing all content in the enterprise.

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) | Sharepoint and Office 365
The hype cycle has started for the upcoming release of SharePoint 2010, and I’m certainly not the only one to get caught up in it. I’m excited about anything that can help the members of our community better manage their information, and I’ve always seen SharePoint as a potentially transformative platform bridging structured content, unstructured content, and social computing in one flexible package. The current release of SharePoint does a decent job of this, but it has some shortcomings when it comes to its capabilities as a true Enterprise Content Management platform.
