Why SharePoint is the biggest threat to Open Source in the Enterprise John Newton CTO

What does Microsoft have against Open Source? There are some new modern-day sort of Communists who want to get rid of the incentive for software makers under various guises!

Look who’s talking!

In the Beginning…  There was Lotus Notes  Project Tahoe  First Release SP2001  Version 2 – Re-architecture SP2003  Version 3 – Good Enough SP2007  Version 4 – Getting It Right SP2010

What is SharePoint? From SharePoint 2007 To SharePoint 2010

The Kitchen Sink… Portal Collaboration Microsoft Office Content Management Content & List Store Exchange SharePoint Services Search BPM Business Intel. Forms SQL Server FAST Search Records Mgmt Social Tools OCS (VoIP) Web Content Mgmt Skype Groove

Enterprise SMB Back Office Transactions Records Manufacturing Front OfficeInternetExtranets Knowledge Workers Documents Project & Team Sites Marketing Intranets Media Systems of RecordMiddle Mgmt Knowledge Workers Outside Firewall Web Sites Customers Partners Shared Drives Open Source WCM What’s Going On? Web Experience Mgmt ECM ERP CRM

Challenges for Open Source  Office sells SharePoint / SharePoint sells Office  Office monopoly and Windows dominance continues in Enterprise  Microsoft,.NET and SQL Server invade the data center  Microsoft owns the Knowledge Worker  Microsoft ecosystem pushes Open Source to the edges of the enterprise

Challenges for the User  Traditional vendors just as vulnerable  Critical information lacks control  Lack of scale means lots of Data Ghettos  SharePoint and.NET stack won’t play nice  No reuse of hardware, software, expertise  “What do you mean it’s not FREE?”  Neither Windows nor Office have gotten any better

Challenges for SharePoint  Scale and Throughput  Complex Development Environment  Interoperability and Standards Compliance  Control and Administration  Jack of All Trades – Master of None  Not prepared for the future I am getting old waiting for this query!
