General Presentation

Best Practices for Content Lifecycle Management with Microsoft SharePoint
 
By Arnoldo Ruiz with AvePoint

Microsoft SharePoint is the industry’s most versatile and powerful enterprise-class collaboration system. But in order to leverage SharePoint as a true enterprise content management platform, an intelligent, well governed content lifecycle strategy is required. Such a strategy must define the platform’s information and systems architecture, and diligently govern the process of content authorship, storage, delivery, auditing, and dispensation, without overburdening system or staff resources. During this session, we will discuss best practices for designing a well governed and scalable content lifecycle strategy that ensures diligent content management, efficiently integrates legacy content and storage systems, and delivers both the transparency and accountability required of an enterprise-class content management system.

Technical Presentation

Using SharePoint as a front-end to Windows HPC Server 2008
 
By Sean Closson with eXcellence in IS Solutions, Inc. (X-ISS)

Windows HPC Server 2008 is a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster solution from Microsoft.  In this session I will show you what you need to configure SharePoint as a front end to submit and manage jobs on an HPC08 cluster. A demonstration will be performed showing the integrated solution and a few example jobs.  I will also discuss the benefits that integrating SharePoint with HPC08 will have for workspaces, workflows, and team collaboration.
