We all know that SharePoint is a collaboration tool but here are some real-life examples of how companies can deploy SharePoint Sites that will increase productivity and increase the value of your current ERP or CRM solution. Here are the 3 activities that will save your company time and money:

1.    Company Intranet – Employee Self-Service Portal Websites

Many of you may already be utilizing SharePoint for your company intranet site for document management, however keep in mind this is the perfect platform to give everyone access to the information in databases, reports, and business applications. By tapping into different data sources including SQL and Oracle databases and even your ERP or CRM Solution, you can ensure people across the organization can locate the information they need to make good decisions.

Next, deploy an employee self-service portal that will let employees manage personnel information and streamline administrative tasks. This not only saves the overhead costs associated to additional HR and payroll resources, but most employees prefer the timeliness and privacy of directly viewing and updating their own data.

Integrate your Employee Self Service Portal with your ERP solution; Dynamics GP, AX or NAV and make the following functionality available:

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Server’s PerformancePoint Services allows for items in documents and lists to be secured when they are used in a graphical or dashboarding application. This is done using a security model of the SharePoint Microsoft 2010 Server. Today, there are products which allow for the customization of the security on the information. The services depend upon the security model of the 2010 SharePoint Server. However, certain security issues need to be taken into consideration throughout the planning process. One of these integral planning steps is determining how the security will be managed. The Central Administration site is responsible for the management of security and covers the resources that are shared as well as the access for users. There are three means to authenticate source data with the PerformancePoint Services. Customized data permits user authentication via SQL Service Analysis Services through the use of custom...

 

I was hunting around recently looking for a good online training service for one of our members when I found the following gold mine.  Maybe many of you already knew about this, but I didn’t, and it is yet another amazing resource that Microsoft has provided, but is a bit buried and hard to find.

Microsoft has its weaknesses, but one of them is Not Customer and Partner support material (IMHO).  You could argue that there often is no global hierarchy for organizaing and finding all of the resources available (often times they are siloed by MSFT team or group), but not that there isn’t enough.  I’m in the business of knowing these, and I find new ones every day

For example, I ran across this Youtube video last week that showcases something called the Microsoft All-In-One Code Framework:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5Li3APU58 I sent it to our developers and they were blown away by this free resource.

Anyway, I digress. ...

Microsoft Office 365 is coming….. as we have shouted almost daily lately.  For those of you who are curious, but have tons of questions, our good friends at Microsoft have provided a ton of resources.  One that is concise and to the point is the new Microsoft Office Transition Center.

Cloud computing is to business what the pocket calculator was to education back in the 1980s.  I’ve already  told you how I was addicted to the Cloud , and your now probably hearing about it daily.  So why should you be interested in this new buzz word.  Well, there are a couple reasons your ears should perk up when you here news about The Cloud, especially when it involves the Microsoft products your company has become dependent upon over the years like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SharePoint, or Microsoft Dynamics.

1. Cost – costs usually include little to no up-front costs, and monthly per user costs moving forward.  This allows you to convert capital expenditure to operational expenditure which can lower the barrier to entry into new products and services.
2. Freedom – your team can more easily access systems remotely and from multiple devices such as Mobile devices
3. Reliability – cloud computing is ideal for business continuity and disaster recovery.
4. Scalability – you get “on-demand” provisioning of resources on a self-serve basis in realtime.
5. Maintenance - cloud computing application maintenance is done for you by the host, and changes and updates apply to all users independent of location.

Automation is the first thing that pops into my mind when I think of SharePoint. And since so many companies out there that I have talked to who have deployed SharePoint for document management are saying, “I know there is so much more we can do with SharePoint but what next?”. My response to that is – let’s talk about automation. First, you need to get started by thinking of the automation of business processes. We all have 4 versions of one form floating around the office or endless excel spreadsheets being emailed across the organization in order to support various business processes. So, which aggravating, time consuming, just plain frustrating business processes can we automate? Expense Reports, Purchase Requisitions, Sales Quote...

WOBURN, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/10 -- Axceler, the leader in administration software for Microsoft SharePoint, today announced that the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, has selected ControlPoint 4.0 to better manage and control its Microsoft SharePoint environment.

With 300 SharePoint sites, the City of Las Vegas was looking for more robust administration capabilities than SharePoint provides natively, particularly in the areas of user permission management, SharePoint site analysis and optimization, and reporting. After evaluating three SharePoint administration tools, the city selected ControlPoint 4.0 from Axceler. Fifteen city departments have already implemented ControlPoint, with another five slated for deployment soon.

"We were seeking an administration tool that was easy enough for both our user community and IT staff to use, so everyone could take advantage of the reporting," said Patricia Dues, PMP, Enterprise Program Manager for the City of Las Vegas. "Along with this functionality, we needed both enhanced security administration as well as file and site management to accommodate the expansion of SharePoint into other city departments and to our external consultants."

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - September 16, 2010) -  RoseASP, one of Southern California's largest providers of hosted Microsoft Dynamics solutions, today announced commercial availability of myGPcloud™, a Microsoft Dynamics enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution which is now available to colleges and universities as part of their academic program.

The myGPcloud service allows professors to set up a new Microsoft Dynamics GP system in less than 10 minutes, allowing their students to have access to sample company data, a live instructor's company, and individual student companies for a rich educational experience. Two offerings have been designed specifically for colleges and universities including a professor only install and a professor and student install. The professor and student option allows students to access their accounting system on any workstation with internet connectivity at any time of day.

"MyGPcloud will be very valuable for our Dynamics Academic Alliance," said Don Morton, Microsoft Academic Alliance Site Leader. "The biggest hurdle for some universities wanting to utilize Dynamics GP is the time and effort to install and configure the system. MyGPcloud overcomes all of those issues and lets professors focus on their curriculum instead of Dynamics technical support."

"We feel this is a 'must have' in teaching accounting today," said Linda Rose, president of RoseASP. "To understand how a computerized integrated ERP system works is key for their success as accountants, controllers, and auditors of the future. And students can literally be in the dorm room at 3 a.m. working on their accounting system homework, because they will be able to access it from their own personal computers."

i-Technosoft offers Windows Sharepoint Services for $1

Technosoft extends its Services to Hosted Application Solutions and have started their marketing campaign by a One Time Signup Offer on Windows Sharepoint at $1.99 per user, the cheapest price online for Microsoft Windows SharePoint.

I-Newswire

) July 26, 2010 - Wimbledon, London – 26 July 2010. i-Technosoft enters a niche market selling Hosted Microsoft SharePoint Services in EMEA. The objective is to assist SME’s to centralise, automate their processes and enable them to access business information anywhere, anytime thereby reducing paper, travel, hardware and licensing costs further enabling businesses to comply to ‘Go-Green’ Standards.

 

Many SME’s have been started to see the advantages of hosted applications such as Microsoft’s Windows SharePoint Services. Windows SharePoint Services enables businesses to consolidate their core documents, forms, work processes on a web based platform thereby eliminating a need for additional applications to be installed. Moreover, SharePoint offers comprehensive collaboration with team members enabling them to maintain records, infopath forms, electronic document versions that assists users to pull any given record in time. Small Business owners currently face a great challenge in managing, organising and accessing their data when required from any given location. This is virtually impossible for them as the costs of implementing such a solution and hosting it locally are very high especially in the Middle East.

This could give you some basic text for explaining what the Sharepoint server is and what it can offer potential clients.

We’re happy to announce that Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Administrator’s Pocket Consultant is available for purchase! Ben Curry has written another stellar book for Microsoft Press.

Following months of beta testing, the latest incarnation of Microsoft’s massively popular Web-based collaboration platform, SharePoint 2010, has finally hit the streets.

More than just a makeover, the 2010 product drops the ‘Microsoft Office’ tag of the previous 2007 implementation and sports both a swish new management interface and support for PowerShell scripting. Business oriented social networking features have also been added and Office integration enhanced, with an optional new FAST enterprise search engine among a raft of other improvements.

I am pleased to announce the availability of the first version of the SharePoint 2010 Administration Toolkit. In this toolkit we’ve included a couple of tools that were shipped releases and are now adapted to SharePoint 2010, along with two new tools.

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 publishing sites make use of the Office SharePoint Server Publishing Features to provide capabilities for creating engaging Web content management (WCM) sites. Frequently used as Internet-facing Web sites, these sites require the use of custom-designed user interfaces to establish an online corporate identity. This process, whether it is used on a traditional HTML page or in Office SharePoint Server, is known as Web site branding. Publishing sites make use of master pages, page layouts, Web Parts, and CSS to enable designers and developers to create branded Web sites that can rival the designs of many popular Web sites today. This article focuses on the mechanics of properly planning and creating a design for an external, Internet Web site.

I’ve seen a lot of confusion with various people’s approaches to powershell.  Customers are First there’s the aversion to powershell as a "language” and something that will take time, a class, and tons of ramp up.  Many decide to put it off until they are forced to learn it for something.  Let me give you some practical guidance so you can start to approach it and understand it’s not all that bad…  As you work your way through this blog, you’ll also find resources from other bloggers that will help you consume powershell without getting overloaded.  The key to remember is take as much as you want, but eat only as much as you take… or something like that.  Just don’t over do it, that’s what I’m trying to say.  There’s a lot of goodness here in powershell, don’t be overwhelmed.

Having a single master page for all your sites gives you some remarkable benefits. The same master page can also be applied to a system master page in order to give your customer the ultimate branding experience. This, however can lead to a few problems regarding how the system page layouts behave with your public facing master page.

Users can synchronize SharePoint Online calendar, contacts, and tasks with Microsoft Office Outlook and then view them offline in Outlook. But users of Outlook 2007 may encounter problems with duplicated items in SharePoint Online lists when they perform synchronization. A fix for Outlook 2007 is available to address list item duplication when synchronizing Outlook 2007 with SharePoint Online.

A survey  by AIIM (Association for Information and Image Management) found that although Microsoft SharePoint is being rapidly adopted by the enterprise, at least half of the enterprises polled that are implementing the platform don't have business uses in mind and many lack specific policies regarding its use. The survey was underwritten by Allyis, Autonomy, EMC, HP, IBM, Kofax, NewsGator and Open Text (many of whom offer competing products).

One of the most interesting new feature of SharePoint 2010 is something called Sandboxed Solutions.

Think of it this way. In 2007 we have solution packages, WSP files that are packaged up with all kinds of goodness (Master Pages, InfoPath Forms, Web Parts, Custom Actions, etc.). Whenever we want to deploy these, we need to hunt down our IT guy and hand him over the package to run on the server and deploy, using the farm account. Only then can we activate the feature on our site or site collection. And then there’s the hassle of retracting, redeploying, etc. for upgrades.

In 2010 the game has changed.

Microsoft became decidedly more social with SharePoint 2010, adding social networking tools like improved wiki and blog integration, tagging and microblogging into its SharePoint MySites feature.

As the social Web extends beyond Twitter and Facebook and into businesses, manyenterprise-level companies are changing their cultures and focusing on improving communication, sharing information and connecting global workforces through social media.

Microsoft is not the only one integrating social networking features into its flagship products, of course. Big-name rivals IBM, Cisco, Google and Salesforce.com (currently countersuing Microsoft for patent infringement) want to grab their pieces of the enterprise 2.0 pie.

These social networking and collaboration competitors will aim to differentiate themselves from SharePoint, which has the advantage of being a widely-used part of the established Microsoft ecosystem, says Forrester principal analyst Rob Koplowitz.

"SharePoint 2010 now includes more social capabilities, and the value for many businesses is that it's also included with an existing, highly-integrated platform. For many organizations, that will be the right direction," he says.

Here's a rundown of the four biggest-name competitors that hope SharePoint is the wrong direction for enterprises, at least for social networking

REDMOND, Wash. — May 27, 2010 — There was a time when the phrase “works well with others” belonged primarily in school report cards. But in today’s complex and interrelated IT landscape, working together is at the heart of productivity, with businesses demanding solutions that build bridges between disconnected business systems and enhance collaboration.
