Workflow in Foundation
If its complex, get a 3rd party app
• Foundation has workflow, BUT• Relationships between tasks &
items=complex• IT Pro understanding required to use
SPD• Good for 1 step operations• Complexity++ is less appropriate
Search in Foundation
Can’t find what you’re looking for?
• Foundation has Search, BUT• SQL Full-Text indexing only• No custom search web parts• No search applications• No Best Bets / Sorting / Relevance…• No federation
Content Management in Foundation
CQWP = U need it!
• Foundation has Document Libraries, BUT
• No CQWP = no aggregation• How do you tag content?• Columns vs Tags• Duplication of content• No Document Sets• No Content Organiser
Branding in Foundation
SharePoint is gr8 if used correctly
• You can brand Foundation, BUT• No publishing framework• Each site is isolated thus• Each master page updated individually• Maintenance++• No page layouts = reliance on IT for
pages
