SharePoint Conference 2009 Keynote

Posted by Steven | Filed under Microsoft, Sharepoint

Well the keynote is over and I have to say I’m pretty impressed with what is coming in SharePoint 2010.  The big announcement of a SharePoint release date didn’t materialise, instead Steve Balmer announced that SharePoint 2010 Beta 1 will be available next month.

The big themes that came out of the keynote for me were:

  • Social Networking in SharePoint
  • Search improvements
  • Taxonomy and Governance
  • Business Intelligence
  • Ease of use and user interface overhaul, the office ribbon comes to SharePoint

Here’s my session plan for today, I’ll hopefully post more later…

  • Microsoft Business Intelligence Vision & Strategy
  • ECM for the Masses – How SharePoint 2010 delivers on the promise
  • Web Content Management in SharePoint 2010

SharePoint Accessibility

Posted by Steven | Filed under Accessibility, Microsoft, Sharepoint, Web Standards

Accessibility of SharePoint has long been a topic of discussion and one of the primary reasons why SharePoint has been overlooked for internet facing websites.  Company Net, my employer, have recently completed the redevelopment of our own website using SharePoint paying particularly close attention to Web Standards and Accessibility, the end result being a site that passes W3C validation and validates as AA accessible.

To debunk the myth that SharePoint can’t be accessible even further I’ve recently completed a white paper on Accessibility & Compliance for SharePoint 2007 where I go into great detail on the current issues with SharePoint and how these can be addressed to use SharePoint as an accessible web content management system.

If you’re looking for a SharePoint partner then why not get in contact with Company Net?
