Groove Thoughts 2007

This year has been very interesting.

Met more people, created more solutions and had a lot of fun.  However, a horrid start to the year. All that is over now.

What did I learn in 2007?

  1. Microsoft Groove is a great tool.
  2. Microsoft Groove alone is never to going to make you rich. You need to have alternatives architectures such as Microsoft Sharepoint as part of the solution to get the debate going.
  3. Microsoft Groove is a growing in demand. That demand is now similar to the the pre-Microsoft Groove days.
  4. The library of functions created with Mark Smith in early 2006 is very good.
  5. The library of functions required to support each solution is growing and growing…. and most of them are not yet available to the general public.  So, it must be so tough to create solutions……
  6. You can beat Microsoft Sharepoint in terms of cost when the solution is internal and scoped for the workgroup.  Typically, 10 time less expensive.

For 2008 I will try and keep the blog up to date.  I will post the functions and knowledge I have (well, the little I have!).

 Have a Great 2008.
