SharePoint Portal Server receives 2004 Intelligent Enterprise Reader's Choice award for Knowledge Management

  • Article

“On the topic of price vs. enterprise functionality, Microsoft swept the Readers' Choice Awards by winning six first-place spots and three second places. Microsoft is clearly more favored among small to midsized enterprises (SMEs, which are defined as having annual revenues of less than $500 million) than among large enterprises, and 60% of the voters were from SMEs. But in most categories where Microsoft won the overall vote, its showing among large enterprises was also substantial. Despite declarations made at the recent LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco , Microsoft still seems to have a healthy grip on the server, not just the desktop.”
