New SharePoint study
Members of the AC+erm project team and two other colleagues outside the University have just started work on a new project to investigate the uptake and use of Microsoft SharePoint by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the UK.
The study is being funded by Eduserv under their Research Programme because there is evidence that interest in Microsoft SharePoint solutions is growing within the UK education and wider public sector. (Interest in SharePoint has also emerged from the AC+erm project). The two main reasons for the project are:
- to improve HEIs’ understanding about the level and nature of interest in SharePoint and whether it is justified in terms of accepted good practice
- to enhance Eduserv’s understanding about the uptake and usage of SharePoint solutions in the UK HE community and influence their 2-3 year plans for service provision in line with their charitable mission.
The study, which began on 27 July and ends on 13 November 2009, will include a mix of telephone interviews, face-to-face meetings and an online public consultation. The final report will be made freely available to the community under a Creative Commons licence. Please see the project website for further details. http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sharepoint_study

During our web conference we can demo and/or cover any of the following topics:
• A general session covering the Six Pillars of SharePoint (Collaboration, Portal, Search, Content Management, Business Processes, Business Intelligence)
• A focused session covering one or two of the pillars in dept
• A functional session using SharePoint for: (contract management, vendor management, project management, etc.)
• An Advanced session covering such topics as (Auto Provisioning, Business Data Catalog, Performance Point, Web based/Server Excel Spreadsheets)
• A future session (SharePoint 2010/Office 14)
We are very cost effective without compromising quality, and our web conferences are free!
I recommend you attend a webinar, then decide if we are too expensive.
