Enhancing Your SharePoint Experience

Dosensio participated this week in the SharePoint User Group Meetup at Microsoft’s offices in the Aon Center, Chicago. The meeting featured HiSoftware, a provider of solutions to create and manage web governance and compliance standards.

The Company provided an overview on implementing easy, cost-effective ways to successfully develop and maintain best-of-breed websites which promote the highest standards in web governance and high quality user experience within the SharePoint environment – both public facing and internal. The Demo and discussion centered on compliance issues surrounding privacy, accessibility and content validation within SharePoint.

The presentation prompted many questions from attendees on the frequently overlooked problems and issues with web governance and compliance. The Company stressed the importance of proactive rather than reactive approaches to this ever growing issue. The event was sponsored by RightPoint Consulting.

This week Dosensio got a chance to attend a meeting held by the SharePoint Business Strategies User Group of Chicago.

The meeting was organized by Ross Freedman of RightPoint Consulting. Directions Training, who co-sponsored it, also provided free food and drinks; something always much appreciated by overworked entrepreneurs. It was hosted by Microsoft at their offices in the Aon Center.

Dan Vandercar from Microsoft introduced the audience to the Microsoft PerformancePoint Server, which is now part of the enterprise version of the Microsoft SharePoint Server. He demonstrated how business data (such as sales figures) can be extracted from different sources, analyzed and turned into compelling financial presentations. Live graphs and tables can be hosted on SharePoint sites so everyone with just a web browser has access to the data.
