I have been asking one of my colleagues for information on Sharepoint and how to deploy it to large organizations. He intoned that he new how not to do it and pointed me towards a particular post that defines a very effective deployment method.
In reading it I came to a much grater realization of not only the power of Sharepoint, but the scale that it can be deployed in. Although you have to take the entire potential architecture into consideration, I really like the MySites part of the deployment.
The idea of being able to effectively give every employee a place to post and collaborate on content is fantastic. I have been playing with my current companies MySite implementation and seeing how it interacts with Office 2003 and coworkers. I find the ability to create meeting spaces directly from outlook inspiring and the attachment sites for email just mouth watering.
I have started reading about the Architecture of the MySites collection and how to Plan for the deployment, but I will start reading the Sharepoint book I bought earlier this month this week end as it is a long one!
I think I am going to enjoy the Sharepoint thing…
