The Heat in SharePoint Semantics January 6 – January 13
January 17, 2012
As we enter into the new year, I wanted to point readers to several informative SharePoint Semantics articles with tips on how to help end users navigate through the mine field that is often the SharePoint experience.
One handy tip that writer Ken Toth revealed, in “Free Conference: SharePoint Saturday in Austin, Texas on January 21” for Austin residents, is exactly that, a free one-day conference solely devoted to answering questions about Sharepoint.
Toth states:
“SharePoint Saturday is an educational, informative & lively day filled with sessions from respected SharePoint professionals & MVPs, covering a wide variety of SharePoint-orientated topics. SharePoint Saturday is FREE, open to the public and is your local chance to immerse yourself in SharePoint!”
Another noteworthy piece is the post “Lively Applications for Enriching Community and Collaboration in SharePoint.” Toth points readers to an article that suggests apps to acquire in the new year.
Toth states:
“The suggested apps include a news feed, a workplace concierge community, and launching an idea community with discussion, challenges, and contests. Perhaps some lively and engaging apps will help your employees jump back into the game after the holiday break.”
In addition to providing information about upcoming SharePoint trainings and suggested apps to make your SharePoint experience more social, “Comparison of Cloud Services for Collaboration, General Business, Messaging, and Multimedia” shares an article that compares the hottest contenders for software as a service in the previously stated areas.
After summarizing each service, Toth concludes:
“for the enterprise SharePoint is the logical choice for enterprise collaboration but has a steep learning curve. To flatten out this difficulty, look to the Semaphore Content Intelligence Platform from Smartlogic with enhanced search and navigation and the findability advantage.”
As always, while these articles provide helpful tips for users to efficiently overcome the lack of out-of-the box help that SharePoint provides, It is important that users recognize the web application platform’s limitations and utilize other products like Smartlogic’s Semaphore Content Intelligence Platform. Smartlogic fills in the gaps by using semantic technology to deliver information quickly and in context.
