Microsoft Sharepoint can be enhanced and additional functionality added by combining the Intoweb Intranet modules. Microsoft Sharepoint essentially provides document management, collaboration and process management modules, which is a beginning of an intranet, but far from complete.
Microsoft Sharepoint deals well with Content management and file management but lacks precreated modules to handle business processes such as human resources and finances. Sharepoint is not really an Intranet, it is a development platform to create an Intranet. Many large companies are purchasing Sharepoint only to be very disappointed that it does not deliver a full pre-created Intranet. Creating your own Intranet from scratch only causes you to make all the sames mistakes many other companies have made all over, and as the years go by, you are still left wondering why you do not have a complete Intranet.
The only way to get a fully tested and secure system is to use modules that have been already used and tested by many other companies. Why pay the full price for development when the modules have already been created and can be purchased for a fraction of the price. Sure, you still have to pay for customisation, but better to get modules that work customised to your needs rather than never ending development that never delivers what you really wanted. Most research confirms that Sharepoint development is far too cumbersome and a terrible experience.
Intoweb will solve your Intranet needs. An intranet should not only be Content Management and Document Management, and Intranet is far more than that. All your business processes should be transferred to an electronic means to save time, save money and do business better.
