Hello Todd There are of course several companies that offer alternative software (go with another vendor) but others are writing supplemental software ie GimmalSoft (Houston) that covers the records aspect of SharePoint and complements them.  I am sure others will suggest more.  I would be more inclined to find a partner for SharePoint and work it from that angle. RobertDr. Robert L. Baileuy, CRM, MIT

> Hello everyone,
> 
> SharePoint 2010 is going to be deployed in our organization. Period. End of 
> Story. Whether we use its RIM capabilities or not, its collaboration capabilities 
> are too big of a driver and are anticipated to help the Company streamline 
> many business processes. 
> 
> Now for my question - In your experience, is it a better investment to tweak 
> SharePoint to handle our wish list (managing all content – physical, electronic 
> (emails), eDiscovery, etc.) or go with a different vendor (insert any name 
> here) who may cost more upfront, but in the long run might cost less and 
> better aligns with our objectives. SharePoint seems like a more cost effective 
> way to reach our objectives. I guess I’m just worried about scope creep and 
> ultimately not being able to manage most, if not all of our content through one 
> platform…Maybe this isn’t possible and I should have opened a window after 
> painting last night!
> 
> Also, is anyone currently managing the majority of their information through 
> SharePoint (especially physical records and emails)? If so, I would love to hear 
> your story on or offline.
> 
> Thanks in advance for your time.
