Over the years we have designed and/or implemented virtually everything on the SharePoint platform including: Feature rich Business Process Automation portals (link points to a case study on a SharePoint-based Accounts Payable system) with complex workflows and external system integration Global Enterprise Portals with over 100,000 planned users spanning multiple countries Public facing SharePoint 2007 and 2010 sites Commercial software built on the SharePoint platform Web-based line of business applications that leverage SharePoint but look nothing like a portal Products for visually designing, documenting and deploying SharePoint without writing code I have been very fortunate in that I’ve worked alongside several of the top experts in the SharePoint space including the seven SharePoint MVPs that have graced our halls (plus a handful more that we’ve partnered with).

Leon, Tynes and Cathey’s “Microsoft SharePoint Server 2007” devotes a few pages to records management specifically and I find it the most helpful—primarily because the planning steps are simplified and based on configuration, not customization (since it’s 2010 and you’re just implementing MOSS 2007, this will be a BIG win with your IT department).
