COISUG Meeting – Planning your Social SharePoint 2010 Deployment – March 30
Mar 15th
All,
We are very excited about our next COISUG meeting on March 30th, 12:30PM – 2:30/3:30 – McMenamins Rambler Room. Once a year, we pickup a SharePoint related meeting and this year we have the worldwide experts on the subject: Joel Olson and Christian Buckley. Come get a glimpse into SharePoint 2010 and how SharePoint is changing the corporate landscape.
“Planning your Social SharePoint 2010 Deployment”
One of the most compelling reasons to move to SharePoint 2010 is the native support for social media – but what does this really mean for your company? How will this upgrade impact current deployments and custom integrations? How do the social media features that user’s are asking for map to the features available in 2010? In this session, Joel and Christian will discuss what is coming in SharePoint 2010, outline the benefits and implications of these social media features, and provide a strategy for how you can meet-or-beat user expectations.
