Everyone in IT needs to understand what SharePoint can do and how it might, or might not, play a role in their content or collaboration strategy. At Gilbane Boston in 3 weeks, we have a half-day intensive workshop, as well as a less time-consuming conference session devoted to SharePoint - and they cover different aspects so you could benefit from both.
D: Making SharePoint Work in the Enterprise
Instructor: Shawn Shell, Principal, Consejo, Inc.
SharePoint has become virtually ubiquitous in many organizations. Whether through inclusion in an Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft or a definitive business need that can be satisfied with the technology, SharePoint is popping up everywhere. However, organizations are still struggling with how this technology will complete "integrated" with their environment. Whether it's real integration with other line of business applications like SAP, PeopleSoft or Oracle Financials, or how SharePoint can be used in concert with other portal technologies like PlumTree, WebSphere, Broadvision and others is still a major challenge. To compound these challenges, not all aspects of SharePoint's technology suite are created equal or well understood. During this half-day seminar, Shawn Shell, founder of Consejo and internationally recognized SharePoint expert, will help attendees better understand the latest version of SharePoint. Key Points:
- What is SharePoint (it's not just one product)
- What are SharePoint's strengths and weaknesses
- How can you integrate SharePoint with other Portal Technologies
- Performance and Scalability
- Governance
