SharePoint 2010

A preview of SharePoint 2010 at a breakfast briefing hosted by Rocket Solutions (www.rocket-solutions.com) in wet Newcastle this morning revealed some exciting new features. Integration with line-of-business systems is significantly enhanced and the business process and workflow features look much more user firendly to create and use than in SharePoint 2007. Search capabilities include phonetic recognition; content organisation features include automatic routing of documents to document libraries and automatic provision of folder structures. All of this of course is dependent on good metadata.

The new business intelligence capabilities are particularly impressive. PowerPivot allows users to interactively analyse huge data sets (up to 1 million rows of data from an Excel spreadsheet). However this and some of the other more sophisticated features will require Office 2010.

Records management was explicitly referred to though didn't feature in the demo. The move away from the model of declaring records into a records centre towards tagging, scheduling and managing 'in situ' looks interesting. It will be good to see how this operates in practice when the product is released later in the spring.

Folks, time to smell the coffee and wake up. :) (Homage to early morning breakfast meetings)Tagging and automatic metadata creation are the future of records management. Out with the file plans and folders and in with the tags. More to the point (pun intended) you will see an application that will extract tags for you rather than requiring you to think of them or remember them. What you write will automatically be recognized by the algorithm based programme to categorize your document and allow you to store it and file its references against a number of cross referenced indexes.
