I’ll been selected to speak my mind at SharePoint Saturday, Boston, April 27. I’m presenting my new session:
SharePoint Lied: It Isn’t a Document Management System, It’s Really a File Management System
Do you feel that SharePoint document management is missing something? It is. It’s missing documents. Sure, it manages files well enough, but are files and documents the same thing? This class focuses on the relationships and differences between files and documents, and the effects they have on SharePoint’s document-management capabilities. We will look at what we should expect from a true document-management system, and examine some strategies for converting SharePoint from just a file-management system to a document-management system.
You will gain concrete insights into why their SharePoint implementations are not fulfilling their document-management needs, and what requirements you should consider when embarking on or enhancing a SharePoint document-management implementation. You will be able to express to upper management what you need from their document management system and why. Experience working with non-trivial documents, especially in scenarios where a team must contribute to the same document, is helpful.
