Just trying to read the title of this article is quite a mouth full, so I will start by explaining where this idea came from and why I am not using the acronyms as most IT people do.
I have just recently moved from Johannesburg to Cape Town and joined a very dynamic consulting company that also happens to be a Microsoft Gold Partner (x4). To my surprise (unlike most other MS Partner’s I know) they are actually very high tech and utilize all the Microsoft technologies that they sell.
My first task as the new “Sharepoint Architect” was to complete their internal MOSS deployment and then upgrade the company from Project Server 2003 to Project Server 2007. After I completed this process I also found that the development team was running Team Foundation Server 2008. This is all good and well, but it created some problems.
The problem came in the fact that both Project Server 2007 (PS from now on) and Team Foundation Server 2008 (TFS) created their own Sharepoint sites independently. This might not seem like a problem until you try and consolidate all the documentation pertaining to a customer in one single location.
The solution to the problem is quite logical, but unfortunately not that simple to do. Point both PS and TFS to look at the same Sharepoint Site. This is therefore the topic of discussion in this article and I will demonstrate how to do this.
The reason I am not starting this article using the acronyms is based on the sad fact that not many companies are using these technologies and therefore the acronyms might seem unfamiliar. This is due to a number of reasons such as cost, new tech and complexity, but this is not something I am going to debate at this point.
I have recently been approached by "Arno Nel" to write a new Sharepoint article for the launch of a new web site called "Sharepoint Magazine". The rest of this article can therefore be found by following the link below:

If you wish to place comments, you can either do it on this site or on "Sharepoint Magazine".
I hope you enjoy the article!
