 | | Hello All - I have made a few updates to the presentation that I gave at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference and posted it in my Reference Materials library.
One key update is the addition of the link on the last slide which will connect you to the Microsoft downloadable environment with the demonstrated Content Packs. Download this and play around with it and you will see its power!
Thanx again to everyone who attended and rated us so highly! | | | | I'm excited to post that I'll be presenting at the Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Anaheim, CA this month.
Come and join me for my session about maximizing your corporate intranet. Entitled Oranges, Rocket Ships and Six Pack Abs I'll be focusing on best practices for driving adoption of your SharePoint intranet deployment. Through the real world journey of the SKECHERS implementation my SharePoint Architect, Walter Cruzate and I will share with you our story and the lessons learned from trying to drive collaboration in our organization.
We are speaking on Monday at 11:00am and we promise to make it fun, informative and never bore you with too many slides! Answer our quiz questions correctly and win some prizes!
Hope to see you there!
