Migrating to SharePoint 2013 - Business and Technical PerspectiveJohn Calvert
Many organizations still run versions of SharePoint prior to 2013, but the appetite and pressure to upgrade is increasing as business and IT better understand the new features and capabilities of SharePoint 2013 / Online combined with its sister products Office 2013 and Exchange 2013, or alternately Office 365. Drawing on experience from real client engagements in this presentation we examine the business and technical roadmap, and challenges in planning and executing a migration to SharePoint 2013.

So SharePoint 2013 has been out for just over a year now with Release to Manufacture in October 2012. Interesting in learning what’s new and different? Then come and learn more about new capabilities in the product such as Shredded Storage and Distributed Caching among others as well as how the migration story changes for SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint BCS, OK. But what is the SharePoint Business Data List Connector (...Layer2
The Layer2 Business Data List Connector for SharePoint makes it as easy as possible to connect native SharePoint lists to almost any external data source, codeless and bi-directional. The app closes many issues and overcomes limitations that still exist with SharePoint out-of-the-box data integration today.
To configure simply:
1. Enter connection string
2. Enter select statement
3. Enter primary keys.
Fast background updates (changed data only) via timer job. Alerts and workflows can be used to take business actions in SharePoint, when external data records are changed. Optionally write-back changes to data source.

You want to write mobile apps, but you don’t want to write the same code four times over. You want cross-platform apps, but you don’t want to sacrifice the native speed and power. You want to create native iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Windows 8 apps, and you want it all while maximizing code reuse and harnessing the power and simplicity of C#. You want four native platforms, but you want one codebase.
Of course you do. You want Xamarin.

Transforming your business with SharePoint Developmentseoquixtec
SharePoint provides a simple and easy-to-administer structure. The SharePoint admin can control who can view what in the environment. They can grant or revoke permission to the users.
SharePoint is a web application framework and platform developed by Microsoft. First launched in 2001,SharePoint integrates intranet, content management and document management, but recent versions have broader capabilities.
SharePoint comprises a multipurpose set of Web technologies backed by a common technical infrastructure. By default, SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite. The web tools are intended for non-technical users. SharePoint can provide intranet portals, document & file management, collaboration, social networks, extranets, websites, enterprise search, and business intelligence. It also has system integration, process integration, and workflow automation capabilities.
Enterprise application software (e.g. ERP or CRM packages) often provide some SharePoint integration capability, and SharePoint also incorporates a complete development stack based on web technologies and standards-based APIs. As an application platform, SharePoint provides central management, governance, and security controls for implementation of these requirements. The SharePoint platform integrates directly into IIS - enabling bulk management, scaling, and provisioning of servers, as is often required by large organizations or cloud hosting providers.
This SharePoint Power User training is designed for individuals who need to learn the fundamentals of managing SharePoint sites. Is your organization using (or thinking about) SharePoint? SharePoint Power User Course will equip you to know how to be more productive and work more efficiently in SharePoint. After an introduction to SharePoint 2013, you will learn many practical tools, from site creation and deletion to creating and managing lists and libraries.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. Introduction
The biggest challenge in today’s information-based society lies in managing Electronic Documents.
Personal computers and email inboxes have become storage repositories, shared drives are disorganized
and inefficient search tools make finding relevant information a difficult task.
Fundamental issues are:
Information is scattered
Multiple copies of the same document
Tracking and Modifying changes is not straightforward.
Merging changes from multiple users can be problematic.
No Proper Reporting and Dashboard for management
No Proper Project Management
Common tools available for addressing these issues can be technically complex and difficult to integrate
with existing business processes and procedures. A practical yet effective solution can allow an organization
to focus on delivering value to their core business instead of being burdened by information management
roadblocks.

Problem Statement
5. What is Portal Technology
A corporate portal is a gateway through which members can access business information and, if set up
properly, should be the first place an employee goes to access anything of importance.
Portals differ from regular websites in that they are customized specifically around a business process.
In SharePoint, a portal may actually consist of numerous websites, with information stored either directly on
those sites or in other systems, such as file share, business applications, or a regular Internet website.
Because making informed business decisions is key to becoming and remaining successful, it’s important
that the information you place on a portal is secure up-to-date, and easily accessible.
Example:
As an example, consider a new employee who has just joined an organization. In addition to learning her new
job responsibilities, this employee must quickly get up-to-speed on the various company processes and
policies. A good portal should provide all the company reference and policy information systems and
websites that employee needs to do her job.
6. Why to invest in Portal Technology
Web based, help decision makers make informed decision regardless of their location.
Handle day-to-day tasks from a single starting point
To maintain proper audit trail. Ex. Sarbanes Oxley and CFR Park11
Store and share information based on the organizational structure, making them intuitive to everyone in the
organization. This structure translates into productivity boosts workers can more easily locate and retrieve
information.
Portal technologies such as SharePoint scale with an organization, offering a model that will grow as your
company grows.
While the typical business portal product incorporates many common business practices, your
organizational needs may dictate a customized process. Because SharePoint offers an extensible
infrastructure, you can build custom solutions.
Although a company may be tempted by the latest and greatest information management system, most
organizations still have legacy systems and data sources. You can massage portal technologies to integrate
with these systems, allowing easier data mining or migration.
7. What is SharePoint
SharePoint is an extensible and scalable web-based platform consisting of tools and technologies that
collectively form what’s known as SharePoint Products and Technologies.
SharePoint is a platform on which you can build business applications to help you better store, share,
and manage digital information within your organization. Because you can build with or without the need
for code, the package empowers the average business user to create, deploy and manage team
websites, without depending on skilled resources, such as systems administrators or developers.
Using lists, libraries, and Web Pars you can transform team websites into business applications built
specifically around making your organization’s business processes more efficient:
8. SharePoint Facts
