Our next meeting...
 Richard Harbridge will be presenting "Build, Customize or Buy? When should we use SharePoint, 3rd Party Products, or build outside of SharePoint? "Session AbstractDetermining when to use SharePoint, extend on top of SharePoint, buy third party products, and when to ignore SharePoint all together can be very challenging.
It requires an understanding of SharePoint’s current gaps, weaknesses, and strengths as well as an understanding of how they apply to the evaluated situation.
