Patrick Cook, the “Small Business Technology Guru” made an interesting post that brought the issues of offline SharePoint and the Colligo solution to the attention of his readers recently. With WSS 3.0 being shipped free as part of Small Business Server, SharePoint is gaining a big place in small business. However as this study shows, laptops now dominate in small business, which means they need an offline solution for SharePoint too.

Thanks, Peter! I love the title of the post: “How Do You Collaborate When The Web Doesn’t Work?”.

Well, I’m off to Mexico for the annual spring break vacation again. I’m disconnecting completely… but rest assured I will still be able to access my SharePoint content offline (…yeah, like I’ll be taking my laptop with me).

See you in a week.

Barry.
