Oh well sorry to hear that. For my time at International Paper they used sharepoint as a replacement to Notes in our little M$ based IT group. We had 20 PMs <Requirements Gatherers, and project filler outers> , 30 BAs Business analysts who sold IT to the the business <paper plant or chemical plant>, 25 IMs who generated cross industry applications for the good of the corporation. <OSHA compliance type of stuff> We were in 50 physical locations across 3 continents.
