TommyWilliams on using Microsoft SharePoint as Collaboration Ware. However, there's something too rigid and formal about it. I have been trying to get the team to use the SharePoint site rather than email to capture information. So much goes on via email that is just lost. It has not, so far, been a success. Something about SharePoint doesn't work for this purpose. Is it the rigid structure? I don't think so. Is it the reliance on Office documents as the primary medium? Maybe. Is it a clunky interface that takes longer to use than writing email? That certainly plays a part.
