Was this spam? My whole point is that Sharepoint is not a great intranet and collaboration product. It's unnecessarily tied to Microsoft Office products (and it's that way by design), has simply appalling content management (why would I want to buy a second product from a second vendor to make what I bought bearable to use?). The point was that the Sharepoint intranet had half the functionality for twice the budget and twice the maintenance cost of the originally designed Plone-based solution.

Hi, No, its not spam. I don't know enough about the installation to be able to speak intelligently on the specifics of that project, but we have many clients that use SharePoint for intranets and collaboration while its not perfect for every situation that does not mean its not a good intranet/collaboration product.

My point about extending SharePoint was that you said "I feel sorry for the companies who use Sharepoint for its document sharing/management" and I was addressing that by mentioning a product we use to fill that gap in SharePoint.

There are many reasons for using SharePoint, there's no need for me to get into that here. If you need to add document management to SharePoint, Laserfiche is a nice easy way to do that.
