As a SharePoint applications vender we constantly go into accounts and find the clients totally confused about what SharePoint is. Most the time they think it is just a document management platform, because that is what Microsoft told them. We all know it is much more. What is your opinion? Does the Microsoft field know how to position SharePoint?
I don’t think so.. and as you know.. Microsoft doesn’t even “Market” SharePoint. Why? because it’s already their top product, and there are so many companies selling it for them they don’t need to.
Compare that to System Center suite where they have big promotional campaigns every week… I got at least 4 10$ coffee cards downloading SCCM Demos. Â They don’t give that for SP.Â
