Workflow in Foundation
If its complex, get a 3rd party app
• Foundation has workflow, BUT• “Three state” only• Relationships between tasks & items r
manual• ITPro understanding required to use
SPD• Good for 1 step operations• Complexity++ is less appropriate
Search in Foundation
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
• Foundation has Search, BUT• No scopes• SQL Full-Text indexing only• Cannot federate from external sources• No custom search web parts• No search applications• No Best Bets / Sorting
Content Management in Foundation
CQWP = U need it!
• Foundation has Document Libraries, BUT
• No CQWP = no aggregation• How do you tag content?• Columns vs Tags• Duplication of content• No Document Sets• No Content Organiser
Branding in Foundation
SharePoint is gr8 if used correctly
• You can brand Foundation, BUT• No publishing framework• Each site is isolated thus• Each master page updated individually• Maintenance++• No page layouts = reliance on IT for
pages
What edition is right for me?
Pick one.
• We want to move away from file share – MSF• We need basic workflow – MSF• We have 1 IT Manager – MSF• We have in house developers –
MSF / SPS
What edition is right for me?
Right tool for your need
• We have < 50 employees – MSF• Configure, and let business run it –
SPS• Configure, and let service provider
run it – MSF• Advanced records requirement – SPS• Need intranet & extranet - SPS
Understanding the costs
Pay peanuts, get monkeys

• Services• Adoption / Training
Show me the VALUE
What can small business get?
