How to do SharePoint right

At a technology level, I was impressed. At a business engagement level, I was incredibly impressed. What Jan and Carol have created, in conjunction with in-house developers, is impressive, but what really stood out was their deep knowledge of how lawyers work, and an almost obsessive focus on getting it right - through discussions, experimentation, trying things out, seeking feedback and input from lawyers, working with people through the change process, and so on. This blog post is my standing ovation to Jan and Carol - tremendous work!

You know how I said I'm not anti-SharePoint. Well, here is a good example of what it takes to use it well. And yes, as you can see it does take some effort and time. More organisations, particularly in government, could take a leaf out their book. Note: This is about using SharePoint as a document management solution.
