Watch the full webinar recording here: http://goo.gl/YBpzqD Hammers and screwdrivers are both useful tools, but you don't want to use one when you should use another. The same goes for complementary solutions like Microsoft SharePoint and Telerik Sitefinity. In fact, Microsoft recently announced that they are discontinuing support for Microsoft SharePoint Online for external websites. Every solution has strengths, and to be successful you have to align those strengths to the right projects. During this webcast, you’ll hear from two experts about how Sharepoint and Sitefinity CMS can work together, and how .NET developers and non-technical people can get the most out of these solutions. Lino Tadros, President and CEO of Falafel Software, is a leading expert in both Sitefinity CMS and SharePoint, and Robert Mattson, Director of Sitefinity Product Marketing will discuss the pros and cons of using each solution.
