Why Attend?

Just a quick note to say thanks for everything! It was a terrific conference, everyone did a great job all around.

The advantage of SharePoint is its simplicity. However, in its simplicity also lies the challenge.

In fact, building solutions for collaboration, Intranet, client management, compliance and process management, to name but a few, requires a variety of expertise. Technology is a small part of operationalizing a solution infrastructure.

The arrival of database systems (DBS) in the 1970s revolutionized business applications by making it possible not only to save structured information (data) but especially to develop business applications. We have seen the horrors of simplistic approaches to DBS. The technology market quickly developed a structured approach to the development of DBS based solutions such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), accounting systems, etc.

The same phenomenon can be seen with the SharePoint platform. SharePoint focuses on unstructured data (content), which represents 80% of all corporate information. Organizations that want to develop solutions and expertise rapidly should attend this conference.
