Conclusion

Conclusion
MOSS is a great tool for a wide range of applications
Data architecture and flows
Design and branding is possible but has limitations
External-facing sites
Full custom development (compliant HTML)
Respect the architecture
Not a traditional concept/development/integration approach
SharePoint Architects and Developers take the lead
Even on the Graphical Concept!
Fantastic value for money
