Public Facing Web Sites Using SharePoint: An Advanced Introduction

In New York, something like 70 percent or more organizations use SharePoint for some kind of intranet related business purpose. However, far fewer use SharePoint for public facing web sites and fewer still use SharePoint for that famous in-between state - the "extranet'. That's a shame. During this session, you'll learn about some of SharePoint's lesser know but still quite powerful features that support these scenarios, including: - Strong branding for internet sites

• Security for non-employee access (for your trading partners)
• Content management capabilities
• Things to avoid when going down this path
• A survey of some well-known organizations that use SharePoint for these purposes
• A look at some of SharePoint's competitors in this space

You should leave this session with a greater appreciation of SharePoint's ability to support non-employee use and a clear idea of what it would take to get there.
