3.1.34. SharePoint Strategy Summit

3.1.34.1. Best Practices for SharePoint Adoption

3.1.34.1.1. Abstract: SharePoint might seem nearly ubiquitous as an enterprise collaboration platform, yet many organizations are still in the process of deciding whether or how to adopt it as part of a broader intranet platform. In the meantime, Microsoft is heavily touting new social and community services in the latest version, SharePoint 2010. Get an objective overview of what works well—and poorly—in SharePoint 2010.

3.1.34.2. Future Proofing Your SharePoint Strategy

3.1.34.2.1. Abstract: SharePoint is constantly evolving. This session will provide best practices for ensuring your SharePoint implementation will succeed over time.

3.1.34.3. SharePoint 20??: What's Next?

3.1.34.3.1. Abstract: In this wrap-up session, the experts will share their thoughts on the future of the SharePoint platform and give advice on how you can prepare to meet these future challenges and opportunities.

3.1.35. SharePoint Symposium

3.1.35.1. Which Approach to SharePoint Governance Is Right For You?

3.1.35.1.1. Abstract: Everyone agrees governance is critical — even essential — to long-term success with SharePoint. But how to do it and where to start? Join a panel of consultants and customers who will outline different ways that they’ve gotten SharePoint under control within their organizations. There’s no simple answer here — but you should come away with an approach that works for you.

3.1.35.2. Should I Use SharePoint For WCM (Web Content Management)?

3.1.35.2.1. Abstract: With SharePoint 2007, Microsoft added web content management (WCM) services to the platform, and those capabilities have been upgraded in SharePoint 2010. Yet, SharePoint has not swept the WCM marketplace, and its main competitors continue to expand. What’s going on, and what does it mean for you? Join a panel of WCM integrators who implement multiple different tools to learn about when to use SharePoint for web content management and when to explore other alternatives.

3.1.35.3. Stump The SharePoint Consultant

3.1.35.3.1. Abstract: Bring your toughest, thorniest, most intractable Share-Point project challenge to the session. A team of experienced consultants will compete to offer you the best advice in 2 minutes or less. The twist, though, is that none of the consultants can hear the answers that the others give. You’ll hear clever, insightful, likely controversial, and sometimes entertaining answers to your questions. The real winner of the session is the audience. Not only do you get some great advice, the attendee deemed to have submitted the toughest problem will win a prize.

3.1.39.1.1. Abstract: In this session we will explore SharePoint 2010's Social Features such as Ratings, Tags, Discussions, Blogs, Wikis, Social Search (People Search and Socials Impact on Search), and the new MySites. Not only will we discuss all of these things but we will also delve into the business value and reasoning behind these features and why they are important for the Enterprise (within the four walls).

7.1. Reggie Rowlandson

7.1.1. When: July 10, 2009

7.1.2. Relationship: Managed/Worked With Richard at Concept Interactive

7.1.3. Recommendation: I don't think I know anyone with the same intensity as Richard. His drive would push our team to new limits. I could always depend on his research and analysis skills to find new ways to solve a difficult problems. I really enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone.

7.2. Steven Mumby

7.2.1. When: February 24, 2009

7.2.2. Relationship: Hired Richard as an IT Consultant in 2008

7.2.3. Recommendation: The City of Waterloo launched an intranet solution in early 2009. Richard was a part of the team responsible for designing, customizing, and implementing that solution. Richard attended and consulted with end users during the requirements gathering phase to ensure expectations of the solution would be met and acted as a technical resource for the project manager. He was always courteous, professional, and focused. Richard also worked in tandem with the project manager to offer training to end users once the solution was ready for launch. I attended that training session and was impressed by Richard's ability to demystify technical terms and processes to a largely non-technical audience. Above all, what impresses me most about Richard is his enthusiasm and dedication to what he does. Richard's role as a SharePoint consultant for the City of Waterloo is over now, but I continue to seek his guidance as I ramp up my SharePoint knowledge. I am grateful for Richard's continued advice, encouragement, and consultation. I highly recommend Richard for any future venture he may have opportunity to participate in and hope to work with him in the future.

7.3. Eric Landry

7.3.1. When: February 12, 2009

7.3.2. Relationship: Managed Richard Indirectly at Concept Interactive

He took on the leadership role in various development projects, and further challenged himself to move into business analysis, interacting with clients and leading customer engagements. With a desire to learn, he seeks out advice and opportunities to improve, and always looks for ways to innovate, add value and make positive contributions to his team, his company and his clients.

He was highly respected by his co-workers for the amount of dedication he gave to each and every project he worked on, as well as his desire to help anyone anytime he could. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone as he would truly prove to be a major asset to any organization.

He was (and still very much is) involved in online and local communities that related to his job and helped everyone else out. If I had to recommend anyone a person that required excellent inter/intrapersonal skills, anything designing/analyzing/consulting it would definitely be Richard.
