Companies Choose Claromentis over SharePoint
This article below is written by Rob Reith our Country Director in Australia which I found it interesting although in some deployments Claromentis can indeed co-exist with Microsoft SharePoint.
Claromentis over SharePoint
While there are many reasons why a company would want to select Claromentis over SharePoint, we have produced this handout to highlight the critical differences between the Claromentis and SharePoint Knowledge Management solutions. In the context of this handout, a Knowledge Management Software system covers the following functionality;
- Intranet software;
- Extranet software;
- Content Management software;
- Document Management software;
- Customer Relationship Management software;
- Project Management software; and
- Electronic Forms software.
Work with the owners of Claromentis
Did you know that when you are dealing with Claromentis, you deal with the owners of the business? As part of the original team to build Claromentis, our clients have direct access to the owners and developers of Claromentis. This allows clients to have a direct say into the development roadmap. This is in contrast to SharePoint resellers who have no vested interest in the software and are unlikely to be able to contact Microsoft for urgent changes.
Work with the owners of Claromentis, and be confident that your voice will be heard at the top
Work with the Knowledge Management Specialists
Did you know that Claromentis only works in the field of Knowledge Management? We live and breathe knowledge management and are active in knowledge management conferences and forums. This is in contrast with many SharePoint resellers, who offer a wide range of software solutions, and will not have the degree of specialty as Claromentis.
Work with the Knowledge Management specialists and get better results
Work with more features
Did you know that over and above the Document Management, Intranet, Extranet and Content Management features, Claromentis also offers Project Management and Customer Relationship functionality where SharePoint does not offer either?
Work with the Knowledge Management software that offers more
Work with flexible technology
Did you know that Claromentis runs on Windows or Linux giving you flexibility whereas SharePoint runs on only their own proprietary server and code? This means you have complete control over your IT environment and ensures your Total Cost of Ownership remains low.
Work with software that puts you in complete control
Work with better Electronic Forms Management
Did you know that Claromentis offers an International Standards Organisation (ISO) compatible and integrated electronic forms module where with SharePoint it is optional? In our experience, forms are critical for any size company, and that’s why we include them out of the box.
Work with the company that understands business
Work with integrated Search
Did you know that while Claromentis offers a fully integrated and advanced searching feature, SharePoint charge separately for their search engine? Image 1.11 shows the complexity of the SharePoint solution (notice the multiple components that have different licensing conditions) which can cause budgeting and resourcing issues as your organisation grows.
Work with a company that keeps it simple and scalable
SharePoint Pricing Structure
I think the fundamental thing is access to the software supplier - in this case Claromentis.
