SharePoint Alternatives

Related posts in Microsoft, News and Information, SharePoint

SharePoint has been a hugely successful platform for Microsoft; but despite it’s power, the prices as I have outlined here in SharePoint Pricing cannot be afforded by a lot of companies. Such is the relevance of the post of Techtarget who has written SharePoint alternatives.

In an excerpt:

There’s integration with enterprise content management systems. IBM offers integration between FileNet ECM and MOSS 2007, for example. Fellow competitor Oracle Corp. has made it possible for users to access Oracle Universal Content Management files from the SharePoint interface.

There are also third-party add-ons (see related story, above right).

Lotus Notes and Domino’s collaboration and content management capabilities are often stacked up as a SharePoint alternative, as are Lotus Quickr and Novell’s SiteScape for workspaces. There is also Oracle’s WebCenter suite for portals and Web application development and its Beehive online workplace.

Open Text Corp., with its ECM suite, is another company that both competes and integrates with SharePoint.

Competing products and vendors in the Web 2.0 space include Jive Software’s Clearspace business social community software, which has customers in the midsized market, and Atlassian Software Systems Pty Ltd. and Socialtext Inc. These started out as wikis but are broadening their community-based collaborative offerings.

For open source alternatives, Alfresco Software Inc. has its ECM platform and Drupal is free software that lets you build community workspaces and portals.

I created a site on SharePoint alternatives as well. You might want to check it out. I am inclined towards nline sharepoint alternatives like HyperOffice, rather than, Lotus Notes, which brings the disadvantages of being a clunky enterprise tool, or even open source alternatives, which require implementation effort.

The one thing I hate about windows 7 is the lack of the quick launch bar. I tried other bars like rocketbar and such but it just wasn’t the same. Then at work one day I came up with this great idea. check it out.
