Twitter question
A recent question on Twitter:
"[SharePoint] costs as much to buy/implement/run in money as the productivity loss of not having it - agree or disagree?"
I would say if you measure this in a vacuum, in the scope of one single project it's probably a wash (money out == savings). The real ROI starts showing up on projects 2 - 200 where you already have the infrastructure set up, people know how to use the platform, you've paid for the licensing, and now you are able to solve new challenges using SharePoint with little effort and cost. Your users start solving business needs themselves (or with just a little help) using doucment libraries, lists, etc. I think that is where the real 'wins' happen.
