Jocelyn Sookahet - PeerSpot reviewer
Sharing information improves collaboration but search capability needs enhancement
Searching information internally in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be better because when we get a lot of information, it is difficult to find. There are other things that could be better, though I don't know specifically what besides search. Search is the main problem, but it could be better if we used software used by other people. Sometimes we have customers who don't use it, and that creates problems.
