Internet Research Group just announced the release of a new report on SharePoint entitled “Microsoft SharePoint (takes over the world)”. Cool Title!

The press release mentions Colligo and a number of other third parties in the SharePoint ecosystem, such as AvePoint, Quest Software, and K2.

I had a spin through the report and found a few interesting tidbits. It starts off with an estimate of the number of SharePoint licenses currently in use. There is a section on use cases that is quite comprehensive and outlines the primary reasons why companies deploy SharePoint. I agree with the reports conclusions on the two most impactful use cases as well. There is also a good section on key vendor implications and how SharePoint is changing the IT landscape, particularly for companies exploring web 2.0 applications. The section on the SharePoint ecosystem is a bit short in my opinion. I would have liked to see more depth there, but perhaps that could be the subject of another report.

I’d recommend this report to anyone who is looking for a quick overview of SharePoint and its implications.
