Sharepoint 2007: Microsoft's New Juggernaut

At this week's Catalyst 2007 Conference Burton Group Research Director Peter O'Kelly predicted that Microsoft's Sharepoint 2007 is poised for very rapid expansion and is likely to take the lead in the "super platform" space: "Make no mistake about it --- it is a juggernaut". O'Kelly concluded that "SharePoint 2007 is a watershed product with very strong synergy across Microsoft's product/services offerings" and will significantly "reorder the collaboration/content management competitive landscape." While "far from perfect" the new version of Sharepoint, according to O'Kelly, is "also far beyond 'good enough'".
