Box.Net: Simplicity, the Cloud & Taking on SharePoint (CMSWire)
At one time, when professionals thought of sharing and collaboration, Microsoft’s SharePoint stood out as the standard solution. These days, the extensive features of SharePoint might also give its competition the upper hand, particularly in the cloud.

Point, Counterpoint: A Rebuttal to SharePoint is Crack (CMSWire)
CMSWire recently published a disturbing article, one that equates SharePoint to crack cocaine. The crux of the author’s argument is that enterprises, which now use SharePoint, are destined to fall victim to the same problems suffered by heavy users of Microsoft Access and Lotus Notes, namely that what “started out as the next generation of sharing and collaboration technology turned into a loathsome mess that has stuck around in large enterprises without enough commitment to sunset it, despite the earnest pleas of a tortured workforce”.

Running in tandem with the release of SharePoint 2010, there are two other elements that, along with SharePoint, point to a more efficient and agile future for management of content. Those two elements are the proliferation of cloud computing possibilities and, combining these two other elements, the development of hybrid online/on premise computing environments. SharePoint deployments are hitting up to 70%, according to the State of the ECM Industry report from AIIM earlier, while an October report — also from AIIM — suggested that half of companies will be using it as their principal enterprise CMS.
