Microsoft Teams & Yammer Enterprise Social: Better TogetherRichard Harbridge
Organizations today need to be more responsive as people are more connected than ever. While many organizations understand the benefits social technology can provide it’s often not as clear how we can go about implementing these technologies to complement our organization’s investments in collaborative technologies like Yammer, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares practical, real-world guidance for enterprise social and the future of work. Richard explains how and where customers are investing in social, what is changing and important to understand, and what technology investments have been made and are being made by Microsoft to help customers connect and work in a cloud-first and mobile-first world.
The Top 10 Ways To Improve Office 365 & SharePoint Adoption - Collab365Richard Harbridge
Office 365 provides an incredible amount of value to individual employees, teams, departments and organizations. Much of this value is not realized immediately upon purchase or even deployment of Office 365. The value is realized as more and more users understand, adopt and embrace the technology that has been implemented. So how can organizations drive faster, sustainable and effective adoption? They perform campaigns, run activities, and take action.
Join Richard Harbridge as he shares industry leading real world experience, advice and activities that other customers are leveraging to get more from Office 365 and drive more meaningful adoption.

**WEBINAR - to see a recording of this presentation given on 10th December 2014 - http://www.clearbox.co.uk/the-future-of-sharepoint-webinar-video/
SharePoint dominates as an intranet and collaboration platform, but it seems increasingly challenged by more nimble, consumer-driven technologies. Microsoft too, seems to be putting the emphasis on Office 365. How should SharePoint evolve? How much should we be driven by employee expectations? And what should SharePoint teams be planning in response? In this keynote, Sam will consider:
• What are the trends in how people work and what they expect from their workplace tools?
• How useful is SharePoint as the basis for a digital workplace?
• How strong is the case for moving to Office 365?
• Is Microsoft’s roadmap enough to keep them in the lead?
• What are rival platforms doing that SharePoint misses?
This document summarizes an agenda for an Intranet Success Road Trip event hosted by Interact. The agenda includes presentations on key features of a successful intranet, debunking common intranet myths, and a session on effective intranet planning using the "POWER" framework. It also describes networking opportunities and an example of best practice intranets. The document provides details on the event schedule and speakers and outlines some of the content that will be presented on topics like the benefits of cloud hosting, the importance of analytics and collaboration tools, and how intelligent content suggestion drives intranet usage.

How a social intranet can be used to drive employee engagement and usage of I...LetsConnect
Mears Group today employs over 20,000 people in every region of the UK. A long standing Notes Domino, Quickr and Sametime user, in 2015 Mears embarked on a journey to roll out IBM Connections cloud to all its employees in order to facilitate a new way to engage with its employee base. The biggest challenge we faced was how to engage 16,000 employees who previously had no access to any systems. Their interaction with the new environment had to be intuitive (from their first via a mobile device) and provide them with relevant information that ensured they use the system on a consistent basis. Within the first week of launch of a new Social Intranet that provided a single entry point to IBM Connections, they experienced 4 weeks an increase of over 1140% in usage of IBM Connections Cloud with over 900 People on-boarding in 1 day. The aim of this session is to explain the vision, the challenges and the current status of the implementation and provide a demo of the new environment.

SharePoint App Store - itunes for you businessAndrew Woodward
The SharePoint App Store and how business should consider how the impact of this within their organisation.
This is a non technical presentation and will also be available as a web cast from the SPSEMEA Online Event in Jan 2011
This document discusses sandboxed solutions in SharePoint and best practices for their use. Sandboxed solutions allow for more secure and stable development within a site collection scope, without requiring full farm access. They enable easier deployment and more iterative development compared to farm solutions. The document provides recommendations such as starting with sandboxed solutions, understanding limitations, spike testing functionality, planning for upgrades, involving IT, and considering the Microsoft App Store for distribution.
Slidedeck from the presentation I, Andrew Woodward, did at the first Microsoft Learning Gateway Conference at the Belfry, UK, on 15th July 2007. http://www.learninggatewayconference.co.uk/
The slides look at how to structure your schools SharePoint sites in a way to make full use of the platform whilst integrating things like the SharePoint Learning Kit.
Provide an introduction to Agile development using Scrum and discuss how the iterative approach to development helps the customer to get the solution they want. Look at how this approach works when applied to SharePoint projects, how it helps leverage more of the core platform and focuses effort on the biggest value areas. We will look at the challenges this brings to your development team by doing early integration, dealing with upgrades and changes and understand how addressing the hard things early is the right approach. We will also discuss how Scrum gives visibility of the project and brings both good and bad news. How getting customer engagement is the primary challenge and how the flexible approach is often at odds with the way work is contracted.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

In this rapid session I will look at 20 common challenges to being successful with your SharePoint deployments and provide guidance on how to avoid or manage them.
The session will cover business, IT and development challenges and will call out specific sessions in the conference where you can dig deeper.
An ideal session if you want either a broad understanding or awareness of what challenges you may face, or where you’re a little overwhelmed but the
packed schedule and need a little insight into where to focus your time.
