Speaking at Advisor Summit on SharePoint, Miami, Sept 30-Oct 4

I’m pleased to announce that I’ll be delivering three sessions at Advisor Summit on SharePoint in Miami, FL.  The event is going on from September 30th – October 4th.  Specifically the three sessions I’m doing are:

  • Finding the Lost Information in Your Enterprise
    When you want to find an HR form do you look on the Web … or do you call your friend in HR? Have you ever needed to know what your organization knows about a topic, and you know the knowledge exists, but you can’t find it? In this session you’ll learn about the first step to getting a handle on data in your enterprise: getting people involved with SharePoint. You’ll then explore the crucial second step: preventing that interest from getting out of control. (Do you remember the proliferation of Access databases in the 1990s?) Don’t miss this session full of tips on how to promote SharePoint adoption — while setting up a taxonomy and structure to keep control.
  • SharePoint Workflow Out of the Box
    SharePoint 2007 provides many pre-built workflow solutions directly out-of-the-box. Learn what you can do with SharePoint and workflow — without being a developer. In this session, you’ll explore what options you have if you don’t like braces, brackets, and semicolons. MOSS includes workflows that may fit your needs and, even if they don’t, you might be able to create your own with SharePoint Designer.
  • SharePoint Workflow for the Developer
    SharePoint is a powerful platform for workflow, especially if you’re a developer. Learn how to build your own SharePoint Workflows in Visual Studio. Developed workflows can do almost anything from sending reminders, to creating tasks, and updating properties.

If you want to learn more about the event or register you can do so here.  I’ll see you in Miami, FL.

SharePoint Search Workshops from Mondosoft

I have the great pleasure of having been invited to help Mondosoft deliver its SharePoint Search Workshops in some cities across the US.  In fact, both Bob Mixon and I will be doing select events for Mondosoft.  We haven’t finalized which events Bob or I will be doing as of just yet, however, I can say that I’ll be attending (not presenting) in Chicago this Thursday August 16th.  It’s my opportunity to work with Mondosoft’s presenters to learn the content they’ve put together in order to help registrants better understand how Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) Search works.

In my opinion, search is one of the misunderstood features of MOSS.  There’s so much power in the engine and relatively speaking very little of that power makes it to the surface in the user interface.  That is why these events are compelling.   You can learn more about how SharePoint works and what the out of box user interface doesn’t surface.

If you want to see if there’s an event coming to a city near you – or if you want to register for one of the events go to http://www.ontolica.com/Services/workshops.aspx

I look forward to meeting you at one of these events soon.
