Join Joel Baglien & Jason McKinney from High Monkey Consulting for this month's Week3 topic. Based on requests from attendees at previous Week3 sessions, we are presenting a hands-on demonstration to show how any organization can improve information availability, productivity and processes, and communication via a SharePoint based Intranet. This session is almost 100% real-time demonstration. Joel and Jason will demonstrate what SharePoint can deliver out of the box using built in configuration tools. We will also look at a few customized examples of what you can develop using SharePoint Designer. Remember that Week3 sessions are “technology neutral” – you will get a realistic view of SharePoint – not an infomercial. Joel and Jason will share with you some of High Monkey’s best practices for how we use SharePoint to manage projects and information. Come prepared to learn, network with colleagues, and to ask a lot of questions.
