SharePoint in Plain English

I've been using SharePoint for the past 3 years. The platform does document management better than anything else mentioned in the video, so that may explain the focus on that functionality. Keep in mind that the video is not a reflection of SharePoint OOTB, and outside of document management, the other features leave a lot to be desired... especially compared to the many strong open source offerings out there.

could you list some of those opensource alternatives and waht they are good for

google docs :) Not quite open-source, as far as I know, but still free of charge.

fantasticly simple. I'll be showing this to our department heads tomorow. Thanks so much!

finally i understood wt is share point :) tnx a lot

How about Google docs? I don't know, the video is good as usual, but I feel this is the first time that common craft sounds a bit... sellout.

I always appreciated CC because they used to explain very simply complex ideas about the best tools available, without focusing on a specific service.

This video looks more of a commercial than of an informative guide.

Nice overview in 3 minutes, good introduction to show to clients. Would be nice to have a localized version (our clients are German).

It does mention the wikis and blogs, and the ability to schedule meetings, but the video is a bit heavy on the document management side of things.

I like this style and the content is good, however, if I didn't know anything about SharePoint I'd come away thinking it was a document management system and obviously there's a lot more than that.
