MOSS mania!
One of the primary areas of investments is, of course, creation of a collaboration platform. Most organizations, who operate in "project mode" and have invested in MOSS, are almost certain that they want to roll this out as a standard. More importantly they have also realized the governance issues associated with this. Creation of sites for project collobaraion is a strictly controlled exercise. In addition a trend that I observed is that once the "projects" are over, an archival process helps in transferring the relevant artifacts to a more tradional document management system, where the Records Management processes kick in. Thus the conclusion was that the Records Center is still not an accepted technology.
Throughout last year, when I spoke to customers and analysts, I was hearing a common theme - people want to use MOSS, but are using it in very different and strange ways, which are dangerous. I am happy to say that by now, at least the customers I met are very confident about their MOSS journey and exactly know what they are doing.

In my opinion, MOSS still remains highly unutilized in most of its features in most enterprises. I see many instances of "websites" or "document management systems", as opposed to collaborative interfaces or information management portals or even governance-based portals.
