InfoWorld: How does Kraft know they're saving $2 million? SharePoint makes that easier than traditional homegrown Web publishing systems. Businesspeople want to get their content out to their commerce site faster than they do today. So the biggest thing is people are focused on saving money right now, and then the second is the ease of use. is running their Web site, actually a lot of Web sites on SharePoint and they saved $2 million in doing that. Teper: First and foremost, it saves people money. InfoWorld: What are the advantages to using SharePoint over other technologies for e-commerce or a Web site? different kinds of Web Parts that get stock quotes or the weather, administration tools that help clean up your sites. InfoWorld: Now these are open source applications that function with SharePoint?
And we're fostering this CodePlex community that's got upward of 1,000 apps already built on SharePoint. We think the business model where we invest sort of $1 billion in R&D and monetize that as a good business model, but that all the value add around it, we definitely think there's a role for open source. It's sort of like where Office and Windows and so forth are.
We're not huge fans of, say, the security model of SharePoint being open sourced or the Web publishing model. So if you go to CodePlex, I think there's 800 or 900 open source projects out there in the industry building on top of SharePoint, which we think is great. What we've done is actually foster a community on top. InfoWorld: Is there any chance of Microsoft open sourcing anything in SharePoint?

Basically, the things that come closest have been PHP toolkits for building Web sites, but they really don't do as much as we do for the full set of publishing and collaboration tasks. A few years ago, there were some things called Plone and Zope that were open source Web publishing systems, but those have sort of gone by the wayside. Teper: A lot of them are toolkits for building Web sites, which are sort of lower level than SharePoint. InfoWorld: What open source products would compete? I don't think there's anything out there in the open source world that's competitive to SharePoint from an all-out perspective, but I would expect a lot of activity from that. The ones that are out there tend to cover a small percentage of what we do, just like how OpenOffice tried to compete with Office. People will target it from different sides, so there are going to be some open source solutions. Teper: That's part of the success of SharePoint. InfoWorld: How does SharePoint compete with something like open source when it seems like everybody's talking about open source, even Microsoft to a degree? Is Microsoft concerned about somebody coming up with an open source answer to SharePoint? I think we have the most of anything by far, but we don't have everything everybody else has. That's different than saying we have everything that all the other guys have combined. But at the same time, we do think there is no single offering in the market that is anywhere near as broad as SharePoint, that we bring more capabilities together in an integrated Web solution than anybody else by far. Teper: We get compared to everything from Facebook to SAP. InfoWorld: Do you really think there's nothing out there that competes with SharePoint? I don't think there's anybody else out there that's got a single product with, say, wikis and business intelligence portals in the same offering. And SharePoint 2010, we added a lot of depth to each of those capabilities. I think that's something no other vendor has done. Jeff Teper: In the past you had to buy a separate product for document management and Web publishing and portals and search and blogs and wikis, and SharePoint 2007 brought all those capabilities together in a single product.
InfoWorld: You mentioned SharePoint as a Swiss Army Knife for IT.
