Michael Noel
Organizations have been taking advantage of Server virtualization in great numbers over the past few years, and more and more SharePoint environments are subsequently being virtualized. There are design caveats associated with virtual SharePoint farms, however, which must be taken into account when considering SharePoint 2010 virtualization. In addition, management of a distributed virtual SharePoint environment can be tricky without the proper tools to help provision servers quickly and properly. This session focuses on outlining the design criteria for virtual SharePoint farms, and demonstrates how virtualization management can allow for quick provisioning of a virtual SharePoint farm or adding a new server into an existing farm within a matter of minutes.

MSOL03: Case Management Solution on SharePoint
Igor Jericevich
CASE management describes the next generation platform that customers are adopting to automate, track and measure highly visible business processes. These processes are characterized by the fact that they are not linear and therefore traditional pre-defined or designed workflows are not a natural fit for these business needs. Business processes managed by CASE can be adhoc and non linear, progress is tracked with checklists and progress from phase to phase is clearly visible. Stake holders can view at summary or group level and drill down to individual cases. Alerts, bottlenecks and attention to service level agreements are items that are typical to business cases managed under a CASE management solution. Integration with backend systems and databases including SAP, SQL, Dynamics CRM are included and provide a mechanism for CASE to reflect a single view of a business case in progress.
The K2 CASE management solution is unique and compelling in that it is built on SharePoint. Join this session to see the K2 CASE management solution in action. See how customers have used the K2 CASE management solution to solve compelling and mission critical business needs on SharePoint.

MSOL04: SharePoint as a Platform for Custom Designed RIA Websites
Serge van den Oever
Maarten Sikkema
SharePoint was designed as a web platform that enables its users to create web-based business solutions. For web designers, SharePoint offers limited functionality. The same abstractions that make SharePoint such a good tool for business users also limit customizability of the user interface.
In this presentation, Macaw will present a new solution that enables custom RIA interfaces based on standard SharePoint Publishing sites. This solution gives web designers full control over the markup (HTML), style (CSS) and behavior (JavaScript) inside a standard SharePoint publishing site, without having to worry or even know about the specifics of SharePoint.

MSM02: Knowledge Management Using Social Software in SharePoint 2010
Donald Hessing
Ton Stegeman
During the summer of 2010, PGGM and VX Company ran a SharePoint 2010 proof of concept project. We were interested to find out how the new social features of SharePoint can help us to organize knowledge management. These features help us to link employees to their knowledge. By saving the relation between people and what and who they know, we make it much easier to find content and subject matter experts. The platform makes it much easier for knowledge workers to share their knowledge and to enrich and value content created by others. By using new content management and search features, we enhanced the relevancy of content. Depending on the process that you work in, or your role in the organization, you will find the content that is most relevant to you.
In this presentation we will show the concepts of our knowledge management system. You will learn why they are important for PGGM and how we implemented them in SharePoint 2010:

• How do we organize knowledge in SharePoint?
• How can I find information that is relevant to me, being a knowledge worker working in a specific process
• How to organize governance?
• Can knowledge workers control what content is relevant to them?
• Which new or updated content is relevant for me?
• How can we enable senior employees to share their knowledge with juniors?
• Can we use decision trees and graphics to browse through knowledge?
• Can SharePoint help to reward people that are sharing their knowledge?
• How to use new knowledge sharing technologies like video and screencasts?
The goal of our session is to inspire you.

Ingeborg Struijk
How do I implement SharePoint successfully in my organization? Which people do I need, which knowledge is required? Where do I start? How can I minimize the amount of custom coding required? What is the best development methodology to use: Agile, scrum or waterfall?
These and other questions are answered in the session “Successfully implementing SharePoint”. Ingeborg Struijk will provide numerous practical tips and recommendations based on her experiences in SharePoint projects for small and large worldwide organizations.
Mostly it works best to start small; some “Plan of Approach” examples are provided. Quality of both the SharePoint platform and the customizations can be guarded by a SharePoint Center of Excellence. Roles and responsibilities of a Center of Excellence are described. Examples are shown of documents needed to make your SharePoint implementation a success, a.o.: Acceptance criteria for custom SharePoint applications, an overview of administration tasks . Also we will show how to align architecture and the site provisioning process with cost models and the product roadmap.
