Sharepoint, huh? My boss is trying to get us all into it, but this is a small Gucci-type boat shop with only 50 employees (prob. 40 actually building, 10 of us in the office). I don't see it as necessary, but what do you think, Sherry? You know it better than he does

I was in business for myself for a little while selling vintage clothing. I had an awesome Japanese customer and it was a lot of fun but thanks to friendships going sour and being young and stupid I lost what I had and got trapped in corporate hell. I am a prisoner of my cubicle now and the mortgage business is fading fast. I just know anyday now I'm going to get the axe. Looks like I'm at a crossroads again.

Well, Sharepoint is designed for small to medium sized businesses and actually, after giving quite a few demos, pretty much all of them like it and thinks that it could help them run their business more efficiently. It stores documents on a SQL database so it's easier to share documents and it won't be lost as easily as if was on a hard drive. Also, it has version control so it will actually keep copies of pervious versions of a document.. before it was revised and you can always revert back to previous versions. There's also task lists, etc. etc. I can keep going but let's give you an idea.. big businesses are using something similar called SAP. That costs millions upon millions of dollars. As for Sharepoint, with all the required software, it's about $10,000. Therefore, it makes more sense for smaller companies.

If you have more questions, PM me

I work in a card production center for a major bank. I make on average 17,000 credit cards a day. Those Blink cards are a huge PITA. I work 12 hour days, 3 days a week. I don't get paid much but I love my 4 day weekends.

Me too...I'd love to teach. You may argue, but I think I'm too old to start that now

I was going to ask the same question: what's your forte?
