To allow even greater flexibility we also opted to install it in a Virtual PC environment. Now, it is possible to install Sharepoint V3 on an SBS 2003 machine but for our internal use we decided to install it on a separate Windows member Server. What I ll focus on here is how we have taken the Sharepoint product and tailored it to suit our needs internally. This is very appealing because it means there is no battle with customers as to the upfront software and licensing costs and secondly the product can be installed on just about any modern Windows server. Even better, Windows Sharepoint Services is a free download from Microsoft and can be installed on any Windows 2003 Server. So why Sharepoint? First and foremost it is probably the most flexible yet easy to use software tool out there at the moment. Initially, we used Sharepoint version 2 that comes native with SBS but the more we heard about Sharepoint version 3 the more we knew that this was the product for us. After doing some research we decided that we needed to investigate this Sharepoint stuff and really from there haven t looked back. Ironically enough we were at that stage searching for a suitable CRM system to implement inside our business.
