Overview
Microsoft SharePoint has proven to be an outstanding platform for creating robust, effective web-based work environments and enabling collaboration at all levels of the work process. It also serves as a cornerstone for telework and COOP initiatives. But all too often usage across an organization is not consistently implemented or sustained. SharePoint is a powerful tool but if not properly implemented at the user level, it can be difficult to have adopted. Although sound technical integration is a key factor, approaching SharePoint implementation simply as an IT initiative does not provide enough of a solid framework for success.
Designed for government and mid to larger size organizations, this seminar will introduce you to best practices that can help your organization improve collaboration and productivity by more effectively using this powerful SharePoint platform. During this free seminar, we'll explore the power of SharePoint and give you ideas about how you can create a stable, effective virtual work environment. In the process, you'll also gain insight on how SharePoint can enhance collaboration, productivity, and knowledge management within your organization. You'll also learn how to find the right SharePoint support for your organization.
Join AKG as we share best practices that will help you understand how to better enable collaboration and improve business processes.

Who Should Attend
This seminar is intended for employees and managers with some responsibility for the creation, management, or execution of daily business processes, knowledge sharing, and knowledge management; managers of dispersed work groups; and managers and supervisors of telecommuting employees. This is not a technical 'how-to' presentation, and some familiarity with SharePoint or another collaborative technology is helpful. If you are currently using SharePoint but are not realizing the productivity and collaboration gains you had hoped to achieve, this seminar will provide insight on tools and techniques that can improve SharePoint adoption and enhance your technical capabilities. Those about to implement SharePoint will learn how to avoid some common pitfalls that can limit the effectiveness of collaboration technology.
