SharePoint Alone Not Good Enough?

I received an interesting sales pitch via email the other day from Ethan Agai, of CVISION Technologies, Inc. This company is very active in the document imaging industry, offering a variety of services including PDF compression and Optical Character Recognition.

What interested me about Ethan's sales pitch was the following statement:

"SharePoint as a standalone application may not produce a clear, measurable ROI for your company. Most companies find a tangible ROI in their document workflow when their document processing is re-designed to maximize automation, including document classification and form coding."

Without making any judgements or recommendations regarding CVISION's solutions ("Trapeze" was the specific product offered), this notion that implementing SharePoint alone doesn't meet everyone's needs seems to jibe with reality.

SharePoint provides a foundation that can be built upon. It's not the whole house.

Interestingly, some people see the integration of other people's applications into the SharePoint environment as yet another attempt by Microsoft to lock in corporate clients.

Very possible--but if the workplace works better in the meantime, does the corporate client object to being "locked in"?
