A Rolling Project Gathers MOSS

Andy Jordan

March 3, 2008






As a general rule, I’m skeptical of the claims that a new piece of software can deliver revolutionary improvements to the way that businesses run. In my experience, such tools are big on hyperbole and short on results. I’m changing my mind when it comes to one new tool, though: Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007, or MOSS to its friends.
 
I’m sure that by this point, barely 60 words into this article, many of you doubt me. Those of you that used Lotus Notes 20 odd years ago are probably the loudest objectors. And yes I know that Microsoft is a long way from the bleeding edge of collaboration--but this is different. For the first time in a widely used corporate platform, project managers have access to a flexible tool that will allow their teams to not just share information, but also work collaboratively--and they don’t need developer support to do it.
 
What is MOSS all about?
SharePoint is not new; it’s been around for some time in different versions, but not many people really took notice.
