Quest Site Administrator for SharePoint wins Best of TechEd

Congratulations to Quest Software for winning BEST OF TECHED in the SharePoint category. Their suite of tools provides important functionality to administrators supporting WSS and MOSS. Definitely worth checking out! (www.quest.com/sharepoint).  Congratulations also to the other two finalists, Colligo (www.colligo.com)  and CorasWorks (www.corasworks.com).

These three companies represent best-of-breed in what was (in my opinion) an outstanding and exciting (and growing!!!) field of ISVs providing solutions for SharePoint. At TechEd, there were vendors with amazing offerings for end users, developers, and IT pros, for WSS and for MOSS, and for just about every business scenario imaginable. What an incredible year it's been for SharePoint, and I think it's only the beginning.

I was on the Windows IT Media team of editors judging Best of Tech Ed awards, and I couldn't agree more with Dan's sentiments about the explosion of SharePoint products for every business scenario. No two entries in the SharePoint category for Best of Tech Ed solved the same problem. And I hear from web developers and administrators alike that SharePoint still has many gaps for third-party vendors to fill.

So, I'm curious to hear from our readers. What SharePoint problems do you need to solve. What bogs you down? What features and functionality would you like to see Microsoft or third-party vendors develop?
