Web Seminar Recap: Maximizing Your SharePoint Deployment through End User Training

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

SharePoint can do just about anything – from collaboration to business intelligence, from shared directories to business processes.  It even has Facebook like features through its My Site capability.  But do your end users know this?

On Tuesday, December 12th ASPE instructor Mark Weinstein presented the free web seminar “Maximizing Your SharePoint Deployment through End User Training.” In this web seminar, Mark discussed the value of end user training for SharePoint, where the efficiency points are, and possible return.  He also reviewed a methodology which is repeatable and scalable, yet allows for customization based on your specific deployment.

SharePoint on Fire

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Firefox that is. I was disappointed, to say the least when I found out that I might not be able to login to SharePoint with my Android Tablet. I spent several minutes setting and resetting my Wi-Fi settings and attempting to login only to get that annoying 401 error page.

As it turns out, the default browser made available on most Android phones and tablets will block the SharePoint 2010 pop block prompting login. Fortunately there is a solution with added benefits. Microsoft’s SharePoint 2010 supports the Firefox browser. The Firefox browser can be downloaded from the Android Market. If you using a tablet without phone access to the market you can download the apk file for Firefox from www.filecrop.com. Click to continue »

The cyber war has and will create opportunities and solutions for nearly every business. Many opportunities are already emerging.

The first and most obvious way to capitalize on the new technology is to implement tablets and smart phones in your business management strategy. Of course there is a cost to adding these devices to your technology inventory. I have written numerous times about the pros and cons to going Android. I have shared my opinions on the iPad and other smart devices. At the end of the day each business must take a serious look at available devices, pros, cons, costs, and end-user preferences. Choosing the right devices for your needs and group of users will greatly improve your return on investment. Click to continue »
