SharePoint and the Future of Technology(Via Stephen E Arnold)

“Personal computers have taken deep root into our everyday lives. Barely anyone these days is far from the Internet, office tools, videos, pictures, and, of course, social networking web sites. It is a trend to sport the latest technology which is always getting smaller, more portable, and sleeker in design. The Cloud IT Pro, Dan Holme, evaluated his current technology repository and how it relates to SharePoint in, “Confessions of a Microsoft Purist.”

Holme uses a Microsoft Air personal computer which uses a third party software component to run the Windows 7 operating system. He also has an iPad with a variety of apps that allow him to do work and plenty of social networking. He has a Windows 7 phone (one of the few people in the world) and hates data plans.

"It's been a crazy month with most of my time spent either with subscription customers or at conferences.

It's during these periods that I'm challenged the most, and learn the most. In other words, though I don't want this level of craziness in my life to be a constant, these periods of time are also extremely productive.

For example, over the past few weeks I have been seriously challenged to revisit and reassess my views around SharePoint. As an analyst it is all too easy to fall into the trap of studying a topic, coming to a conclusion (hopefully the right one) and then sticking with that conclusion. Time and the steady pace of progress eventually change everything, and SharePoint is no different in this regard.

It's been my observation that the entire SharePoint community is adjusting to a new reality, and that the thrill has gone. SharePoint is a huge business and will remain so for many years to come. There is no doubt about that. But the rampant excitement that we witnessed in the channel (reseller) community a couple of years ago has simmered down. The reality that there are fewer and fewer greenfield sites (organizations with no SharePoint presence) -- and that buyers of SharePoint are now trying to figure out what to do with it -- is hitting hard."
