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...
I spent a lot of time at the Microsoft office last week in Waltham, including the Quarterly Partner Briefing on Tuesday 3/24. One of the sessions I attended on BI put on by Bob Lincavicks and Tara Seppa clarified some recent announcements about PerformancePoint...
Business intelligence is a rapidly growing sector of IT development and expenditure budgets. Products include financial modeling, data analysis, data mining, reporting and charting tools. The large vendors, Oracle, IBM and Microsoft, all have products...
Yesterday I spent many hours trying to solve what should have been a simple issue - grouped views in a SPGridview. I was building a web part that used an embedded SPGridview - this was part of a template I created used by a TemplateBasedControl which...

Deleting a user's My Site sounds like it should be very easy to find, but in some ways it is hidden in the administration and management of MOSS. In order to delete another user's My Site you need to be an administrator in the Site Collection...
Many of our clients have asked us about some type of function or Web Part that lets them show a list of users in their site collection, specifically from the "Users and Groups" list that they can control. Out of the box MOSS gives you the Site...
