Interview with Asif Rehmani
The below questions paraphrase Jay and Craig’s side of the conversation with Asif, the answers are his own words.
Can you tell us a bit about you and how you got into SharePoint?
Asif: I got thrown into SharePoint, I didn’t choose to be here; but a lot of people have the same story, where they’re like “Oh here’s a thing called SharePoint, figure it out, do this document management or search or something for us, for our company” and then “oh yeah, you have these other 10 things as well”. This was a common theme when I was starting out and within the first 5 years, so back in 2002 is when I started out, and a lot of people were getting throw into this thing called SharePoint. I got thrown into it by a company I was consulting for at the time, who wanted to get into Document Management and had no other way of doing it and Microsoft was proposing they use SharePoint. It was a horrible product, in SharePoint 2001, if anyone remembers, but it became a lot better in SharePoint 2003 and from there it kept on getting better and better and better … [2007] was the ultimately the year it became what it is right now. Because SharePoint 2003 was also fairly bad, if I may say so bluntly, and 2001 was horrible. That’s how I got into it.
You say you entered SharePoint begrudgingly, are you happy with the direction you’ve come?
There is, of course, a reason I’m still going very strong with SharePoint. Just because it began with a really rocky start, that doesn’t mean it ended that way, of course.
