Some people at my company are considering Liferay as a possible replacement for SharePoint and Umbraco. Wanting to learn more about it, I came across that page, and here are a few nuggets I found:
Quote: Liferay Portal is an enterprise web platform for building business solutions that deliver immediate results and long-term value.
I know I like "long-term value" and "immediate results" when "building business solutions". Sounds like a useful "enterprise web platform".
Quote: Start Delivering Value Today
Why, just the other day I was talking about delivering value. I can't wait!

Are you sure that isn't a Microsoft product? I've a shelf full of brochures here, produced by MS, all supposedly about their products (Sharepoint, Exchange, W2K8 and - more particularly - the various pre-packaged combinations of such that they sell as Small Business Server or similar.
I've complained bitterly to them in the past about these materials, because they consist of endless streams of business buzz-words and jargon, padded out with phrases that sound like badly constructed "mission statements".
The one thing these publicity materials do not do, is tell you what the product does and why you might want to use it - as a long-time MS partner and reseller, if I cannot make out what a product actually is for from its own publicity materials, what chance have I got of selling to anyone else.

At least it doesn't move to the right the paradigm shift that leverages the underlying synergy

The fact that the product is used by the all-powerful French Ministry of Defense does not exude confidence...

IDK, Liferay just seems like it is going to have a lot of maintenance issues... unless your company is very good about restricting which bits of the open source project your developers work on... and then there are still things like reporting capabilities, mobile phone access.. cloud access.. that you get from sharepoint...???
I'd blame it on the Brain farts.. But let's be honest, it really is more like a Methane factory between my ears some days then it is anything else...

Just saw this in the Lounge, it's the first time I've heard this and it's already making me shudder.

Deciphering that actually means Shafer has failed more than once in business and has been using a computer for a little over 2 years.
This guy sounds like he should give up trying to con people, he's too stupid.

Perhaps he's a Peter Drucker guru:
“I have been saying for many years,” Drucker once remarked, “that we are using the word ‘guru’ only because ‘charlatan’ is too long to fit into a headline.”
