SharePoint Takes Center Stage at Catalyst Event  

From RedmondMag article on Microsoft’s Sharepoint

Financially, SharePoint represents a big plus in Microsoft’s product stack. The SharePoint 2007 product generated $800 million in revenues in Microsoft’s fiscal-year 2007, Creese said. That figure is $50 million more than the total revenue generated by Salesforce.com — a hosted customer relationship management solution provider — in its fiscal-year 2008, he added.

Creese offered a caveat for organizations expecting SharePoint to work right out of the box. The solution may require some customization to meet an organization’s needs.

“SharePoint has been a huge success in the market,” Creese said. “However, what we’re starting to find is that a high-tuned SharePoint installation requires custom coding and third-party” support, including perhaps third-party software.
