Why to stay away from the SharePoint External Storage API 
Mon, Jan 5th 2009 4:56p Joris Peolmans
I got this question when teaching a class about architecting Document and Records Management solutions with SharePoint - is it possible to store the documents outside of the SQL database and the metadata within SharePoint? Yes, this is possible - take a look at the External storage option for Binary Large Objects (BLOBS) in Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. However, there are some reasons to stay away from it - at least for now - recently some more informat [read] Keywords: document

SharePoint in the Life Science sector and beyond ...
Mon, Jan 5th 2009 4:56p Joris Peolmans
Life science companies are traditionally strongholds for typical ECM vendors such as IBM FileNet and EMC Documentum. But what about SharePoint Server 2007? My guess is that SharePoint is being adopted but not as an alternative to the traditional ECM players but as a complement. Especially the collaboration part is being strongly embraced but with regards to pure ECM functionality I have my doubts - and trust me I'm a strong believer in SharePoint. Traditional players seem to draw the "be n [read] Keywords: collaboration

Installing Expression Encoder 2.0 on Windows Server 2003 SP1
