Overall Satisfaction with MS SharePoint / SQL

MS SharePoint / SQL is used across the whole organization as a portal for resellers and sales people for Managed Print Services. It solves the problem of internalization and localization, providing a consistent user interface and the ability to create dealer/reseller sites without software development.

  • User interface is built-in and can be administered by non-IT folks.
  • Internationalization is built-in
  • Querying large lists
  • Sharepoint is not a relational database management system(DBMS), but it should be. Querying SharePoint data should be not different than querying SQL server.
  • Business connectivity services (BCS) is not intuitive and difficult to implement.
