This document provides an overview of the new features and changes in SharePoint 2013, including:
- Service applications have been improved and new ones are available, while Office Web Apps is now a separate product.
- Social features like microblogging and activity feeds have been enhanced. Enterprise content management, web content management, business intelligence and mobile experiences have also been expanded.

What’s New in SharePoint 2013 for IT ProsSPC Adriatics
Speaker: Michael Noel;
At first glance, the most significant changes in Microsoft’s newest version of SharePoint appear to be visual ones, as Microsoft revamped the overall User Interface and updated it to be more easily usable on tablet based devices. Under the surface, however, Microsoft has also made some significant changes to the back-end infrastructure capabilities of the platform, improving tools and adding new capabilities. This session focuses on those back-end infrastructure and administrative changes that are inherent in SharePoint 2013, and concentrates on how IT Pros can prepare for the addition of SharePoint 2013 into their environments. Improvements such as a revamped User Profile Sync offering, integrated FAST Search capabilities, advanced authentication options, changes to Service Applications, and new data tier high availability and business intelligence options are discussed.

Learn how to place all file share content at users’ fingertips via SharePoint 2010 – no migration, no additional storage costs, and no headaches
Microsoft's massive investment into Cloud technologies are enough to make anyone stop and wonder if the Cloud is something they should be focusing on for SharePoint. During this full day workshop we will examine Microsoft's Cloud Strategy from an ITPro's perspective and understand how a hybrid scenario can be structured to maximize the On Premises, Infrastructure as a Service, & Cloud capabilities. We will deep dive into deployment planning and implementation across the hybrid stack. We will also discuss and demonstrate the management of the SharePoint platform across all tiers. Join us on this journey from the ground to the cloud and back again!

Q&A
Starting in May 2010, with SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft began talking more and more about "Personal BI". The focus of this discussion was a paradigm shift moving business intelligence from being something a few BI professionals do with a data warehouse to a practice done by Information Workers every day in familiar tools like Microsoft Excel and SharePoint. Over the course of this session we will show you the improvements that Microsoft has made in the 2013 stack to take this new focus from being a “nice idea” to a truly powerful reality. We will explore the improvements made to Excel, PowerPivot & Power View, & Reporting Services. We will explain the underlying technology that makes the new features possible and walk through demos of some of the shinier toys. At the end of the session you will walk away with a better understanding of what is new in 2013 for business intelligence and an extreme desire to build reusable data model that will undoubtedly bring real value to your business.

This slidedeck was used during my session at the SharePoint Connections 2012 conference at 20 November in Amsterdam. The presentation is about how to build great applications using the new technologies introduced in SharePoint 2013.
<November 2017 Updated from earlier presentations on Cloud-native Data>
Cloud-native applications form the foundation for modern, cloud-scale digital solutions, and the patterns and practices for cloud-native at the app tier are becoming widely understood – statelessness, service discovery, circuit breakers and more. But little has changed in the data tier. Our modern apps are often connected to monolithic shared databases that have monolithic practices wrapped around them. As a result, the autonomy promised by moving to a microservices application architecture is compromised.
What we need are patterns and practices for cloud-native data. The anti-patterns of shared databases and simple proxy-style web services to front them give way to approaches that include use of caches (Netflix calls caching their hidden microservice), database per service and polyglot persistence, modern versions of ETL and data integration and more. In this session, aimed at the application developer/architect, Cornelia will look at those patterns and see how they serve the needs of the cloud-native application.
Get an Insight on Our Portfolio which concentrated mainly on the Industry Specific. For each Industry we will develop a new solution that helps them to increase their revenues, and reduce the Human efforts.
