My Lightning Talk from the SharePoint Technology Conference (#SPTechCon) held in San Francisco, presented March 4th, 2013. Not a lot of actual content....I'm invited to present purely for comedic relief, and always have fun doing it. But I'm keeping the Ford Fiesta.

3. SharePoint out of the box is a powerful
platform
But many organizations don’t think they have
the time, money, people to spend on planning
The result?
• Site sprawl
• Unfettered content
• Process lawlessness

4. The SharePoint
Business Doesn’t
Matters Matter

5. GOVERNANCE
Business
Need Service

6. But where is SharePoint going?
What we know:
• Social
• Business Intelligence
• Cloud
Kind of sounds like….

8. In 2063, SharePoint has become self-aware.
The world has changed dramatically
…and I have seen it first-hand.

9. • Modified a Ford Fiesta 2014 with Microsoft Sync
• There’s a nice hack at http://bit.ly/Td0LVR which
allows you to convert Sync into a time machine
• Traveled 50 years into the future to see how
much governance in SharePoint has improved

10. • The flux capacitor is totally fake. Apparently just
a movie prop.

14. • Chips in palms allow for tight monitoring
of all activities within SharePoint (and every
other system)
• Track movement, uploads, timestamps, geo
IDs, biometrics, and proximity to other
humanoids
• Based on the data, the system can recreate
full 3D renderings, in real-time, of your
surroundings and all actions taken

16. • All content and actions are scanned
rated, ranked, and measured against defined
security and compliance rules
• All systems and permissions are automatically
adjusted based on this real-time data and your
social interactions with other workers
• System delivers injections of dopamine or
adrenalin based on target emotional responses
• You are also able to configure your home
lighting, temperature, and Xbox Music choices
via telepathic interface, which is pretty cool

17. • SharePoint 2063 includes Virtual Clapper’s
Advanced Controller capability, in
Personal, Home, and Professional versions
• I recommend at least the Home version,
which gives you their patented
clap on / clap off capability for
up to 5 devices
• It does require wi-fi

18. • Native metadata management still sucks
