Event Details
The Boston Area SharePoint Users Group (BASPUG) was founded to bring together like minds to network and share their experiences, triumphs, and tribulations around Microsoft SharePoint, to provide a community platform for Boston area SharePoint users, administrators, developers, architects, of all experience levels, even brand new to SharePoint, to share their knowledge with the community. We meet on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center in Cambridge, MA.
PRESENTERS
Our presenters for our next meeting are Richard Harbridge, a Senior SharePoint Evangelist at Allin Consulting, and Mark Bramhall, CTO at Allin Consulting. They will be presenting "SharePoint 2010 Integration and Interoperability: What you need to know".
Session Abstract
There are countless challenges when dealing with business data. A few of note are:
- Higher Overhead for IT to Service User Requests
- Multiple Places to Search Results in Reduced Applicable Contexts
- Multiple Places to Administer, Manage, and Maintain
- High Data Integration Costs (100% Custom and Often One Offs)
- Silos or Islands of Business Data Lead to Redundant Data or Processes
- Multiple Interfaces Creates User Dissatisfaction and Increased Training Costs
Microsoft SharePoint is a platform than can help significantly reduce the challenges mentioned above by using an interoperable platform of connected services. In our session we will explore SharePoint's new Interoperability underpinnings as well as the BCS to determine how they can be leveraged effectively in real world scenarios.
What we will be talking about:
- SharePoint’s Important Interoperability
- What is the BCS?
- External Content Types
- External Columns
- External Lists
- Extensibility and Tooling
- Other Ways SharePoint Leverages the BCS
- Demonstration of BCS
- The Limitations of BCS
