SharePoint is proving to be an enormous success and has grown in to a massive product – even a basic feature list runs to many pages. We recognise that one of the challenges facing our customers is simply understanding the product’s capabilities and how it might apply to their organisation. To help with this process, we have put together a one day workshop run in our labs that takes architects, developers and business analysts on a tour of the feature set.

Most of you come to us with an idea of how SharePoint might help you. So at the start of the day we invite you to set the scene for us, describing any challenges you hope to address and any ideas for using SharePoint you have had. Taking that as input, we then cherry pick what we believe would be the most pertinent aspects of SharePoint in your scenario and give you an open-ended customised demonstration. Because of this every delivery is different, but to give you a flavour these are the sorts of areas we have covered:-

• Physical architecture and deployment scenarios

• Installation and configuration

• The basic features: Sites, Libraries & Lists, Web Parts
