• “It Takes a Village”: The Human Cost of SharePoint

  by David Berry

  SharePoint is a broad platform offering many different capabilities. It is frequently a challenge for clients or even our own management to understand the roles involved in designing and implementing a proper solution, assessing the impact on IT teams to maintain it and most importantly helping the users adjust and accept the new tool in their lives.

  In this talk we’ll break down the SharePoint Superman into manageable roles that can be filled by one or more people, including what is a SharePoint architect. We’ll assess the maintenance impact to IT teams, including the division of the SharePoint farm administration roles. Most importantly we’ll look at how the implementation of SharePoint 2010 can impact the organization and its users.

• Law & Order: Content Governance Strategies

  by Christian Buckley

  SharePoint out of the box is a powerful platform. Unfortunately, many organizations seem to think that governance is also out of the box. It isn't. The result? Site sprawl, unfettered content, and general process lawlessness. This is a fairly common problem, and there are definitely steps you can tackle to quickly get back on track. In this session, we'll discuss several real-world strategies for gaining control over your SharePoint environments, better aligning your SharePoint efforts with organizational goals, and dramatically improving your chances of meeting end user expectations.

• Big Data for SharePoint: Understanding the challenges of using SharePoint as a large scale document repository

  by Seb Matthews

  Increasing data volumes means that more pressure is being placed on Enterprise systems to support organisations be the very best they can be.

  SharePoint is no exception to this pressure with farms being asked to do much more than many organisations expected resulting in farm owners and administrators being asked to deliver high quality, high performance and high reliability in aspects of farm operations.

  In this session, we will look at the challenges of using SharePoint as a big data repository including:

  • Large scale SharePoint design – considerations and best practices
  • Large scale document ingestion - getting stuff into SharePoint
  • Making metadata work in big-data environments
  • Infrastructure challenges and how to overcome them
  • Ensuring Search is effective with high volumes of documents
