Category:  SharePoint Conference

As the sold-out SharePoint Conference begins in Anaheim, California today, businesses continue to adopt SharePoint 2010 at an unprecedented pace. Microsoft will reflect on ten years of redefining collaboration and look ahead to where the cloud and a growing SharePoint ecosystem will take the product next.  Here are a few things we’ll be talking about this week.

SharePoint is a thriving business, and one of the biggest products at Microsoft - its success speaks for itself:
  • In 2008, SharePoint surpassed $1 billion in revenues - the fastest product at Microsoft to  reach this milestone,  and it continues to grow at double-digit speed.
  • More than 125 million people in 66,000 organizations have SharePoint.
  • Over 62 million SharePoint 2010 licenses have been sold.  
  • More businesses chose SharePoint than all other vendors combined as their primary collaboration tool to share information inside and outside their organization. 
 SharePoint has a vibrant ecosystem, and today there are endless options for the SharePoint platform.
  • More than 700,000 SharePoint developers.
  • Currently 1,000 ISV solutions for SharePoint 2010 and another 1,000 in development.
  • This year alone, Microsoft trained more than 93,000 partners on the SharePoint platform.
New SharePoint certification program designed to take customers’ SharePoint deployments to the next level. Today, Microsoft announced there’s an addition to the suite of Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) certifications: MCA SharePoint. Through a rigorous review board and exam process, the MCA program helps the highest-achieving IT architecture professionals distinguish their expertise with Microsoft server technologies, including SharePoint solutions for enterprise customers. Learn more about the MCA Program here.
 
SharePoint and Office 365, deliver enhanced collaboration and productivity tools in the cloud.  Office 365 is not just about creating documents. Whether you’re a mom-and-pop shop or the largest global corporation, it’s what you can do with your information that matters. Office 365 provides tools to create, share and collaborate using the Office productivity suite, email and calendar, shared documents, team workspaces, IM, online meetings and video chat. Businesses using SharePoint Online and Office 365 are already reporting impressive results.
 
Business Connectivity Services come to SharePoint Online. Microsoft plans to expand the business critical services delivered by Office 365 and Azure and make moving to the cloud even easier for customers. By the end of the year, the first round of service updates to SharePoint Online since Office 365 launched will be complete and will enable customers to use Business Connectivity Services (BCS) to connect to data sources via Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Web Services endpoints. BCS lets customers use and search data from other systems as if it lives in SharePoint—in both read and write modes.

share point & intranet

If you are planning to deploy an Intranet, check out SharePoint implementeds product. It basically runs on SharePoint Foundation ( free version ) so you dont have any licensing costs but yet get all the power of sharepoint and can always upgrade later to a pid version.

SPI provides a fully functional Intranet for as low as $5000. This is a great deal as they include the installation, configuration and training as part of their package. They have adderssed many gaps in sharepoint to truly create a great looking and a functional Intranet.

SharePoint Template

By any chance, Would you know where I can go to obtain information on how to convert my adobe photoshop mockup into a template that works in SharePoint 2010?

I'd like to use the same layout as a regular team site. However, I'd like my photoshop mockup to serve as an outline.
