well we have been over this in your pages via comments and I blog it all the time – MOSS is a ‘portal’ so of course it makes a good front end to many applications. However the reason EMC, OpenText and Oracle play nicely is that they know people will jump on the Sharepoint bandwagon and then suffer the consequences, at which point your ‘ECM sales person’ will appear with the offer of a ‘real repository’ and Sharepoint connectors :-)

Or of course, organisations could actually do some requirements analysis and buy the right product to meet their requirements in the first place, which may or may not be Sharepoint. See my recent article on Prescients site at:

I think it would take a lot of therapy to figure that out.

Oh, and Andrew now has a follow-up post: SharePoint Archiving #2 – An Overview of the Potential Solutions
