Microsoft might not have control over it, but Dropbox will. For a business, that is unacceptable - and rightly so, since it means important documents go outside your perimeter. Instead they use a document management system (like Sharepoint or Alfresco) that they install and manage centrally.
Unlike a wiki, a document management system gives full, normal document management. Unlike a CMS it is all about documents, and unlike a LAN share it does versioning and workflow. Basically, Sharepoint is something for businesses. A normal user will never need it. On Feb 14, 2013 5:28 PM, "anne-ology" <[email protected]> wrote: > Content Management System ;-) ...
