We literally spend millions on licensing Share Point to do what WordPress can do much better and easier. I'm not saying we're going to start writing everything in PHP, but being able to experiment with WP could affect the bottom line in a big way.
- honopu 10y agoI would look at sitecore. It's still .net, but it is closer to wordpress in that you wouldn't necessarily build a sharepoint in it, but you can build pretty much anything else in it. Disclaimer, I work on the UX/UI side of a company that focuses solely on sitecore.
- pjmlp 10y agoI only had a project with Sitecore, v6.5 at the time, and really enjoyed using it. Just the overall replication of Windows desktop for the backend management UI seemed a bit extreme. :)
- honopu 10y agoYeah it was a bit odd for me too, coming from PHP and node land. Most of the editing should be done in the experience editor.. which is fairly WYSIWYG in context editing. Concrete5 still does that part of it better. Sitecore has a lot of engagement value scoring and content a/b testing built into it.
- alistproducer2 10y agoThanks for sharing this, but what exactly does this provide that WP doesn't to justify the cost?
- emodendroket 10y agoI'm not familiar with the product, but surely leveraging existing expertise has some value.
- pjmlp 10y agoIt might be a personal thing, but if I had to choose between working for a customer A with SharePoint and customer B with WP, I wouldn't hesitate to choose customer A, even with SharePoint 2007.
- alistproducer2 10y agoMay I ask why?
- pjmlp 10y agoPHP and the overall quality of average WP code?
- stkrzysiak 10y agoHonestly, I think I'll take 'average' php code over 'average' .NET code, I just did a 18 mo. stint at a .NET enterprise environment after 8+ yrs of PHP(Drupal, so maybe the bar is higher, not saying it is, but maybe).
- emodendroket 10y agoI don't have any substantive evidence for this, but I suspect you'd see very different characteristics among people who work on SharePoint and, say, MVC/WebAPI.
- UK-AL 10y agoVastly. People who develop sharepoint tend business focused people or ex IT people. People who develop in MVC tend to be developers.
- emodendroket 10y agoThat explains why all the information you can find about SharePoint development is so muddled I guess.
