If you are going to do this, understand that SharePoint is a very large application that eats up lots of resources and time. If you do not have an existing implementation of SharePoint, your research should…"
John Graham replied to Alana Riley's discussion Which comes first: Portal or LMS?"I know the post is a bit old, but If you have a few minutes I'd like to touch base and maybe chat with your LMS guys if you are still connected with them."
Michael A. Smith replied to Alana Riley's discussion Datatel Colleague & Portal Integration"Hi, Lauren,

Michael A. Smith replied to Alana Riley's discussion Datatel Colleague & Portal Integration"Lauren,

I'm recently joined University Web Developers when searching for some information about Datatel's Sharepoint Portal. We are a Datatel shop and are considering Datatel's portal. The other portal solution we…"
