Session Topic Description:

The Missing Link Between SharePoint and the End User Community

As the SharePoint End User Community has matured from beginning level Site Managers into full fledged SharePoint Power Users, a major piece of the puzzle in SharePoint usage has been overlooked: how can business processes be integrated into SharePoint?

It’s fine to be able to setup sites, build a little infrastructure for your team, and maybe throw in some Information Architecture with content types, but how does that relate to Business Processes?

In this presentation, Mark Miller will give a high level overview of the thought processes needed in order to get past basic usage of SharePoint as a storage platform by analyzing internal business processes and incorporating those processes into an automated system within SharePoint.

No geekspeak. No technical jargon. This is for business users, business analysts and those who want to see how SharePoint can be used in the real world.
