Topic:  Improving Organizational Effectiveness with Microsoft SharePoint 2007!
Date:  Wednesday, October 29, 2008
Speaker:  Matthew Panzano
Location:  Heritage Hall at Seville Quarter

Microsoft SharePoint has been the fastest growing product in Microsoft history. By making it easier to manage content and streamline processes, Microsoft SharePoint 2007 helps organizations derive more value from their information assets, and accelerates everyday business activities. SharePoint 2007 enables users to easily assemble and analyze critical business information from disparate systems, leading to better-informed decisions at all levels of the organization. It enables people to effectively connect with the information and resources they need, both within and across organizations. Enhanced interoperability support facilitates integration with non-Microsoft IT investments, while the tight integration into familiar desktop applications and browsers accelerates end user adoption.

Whether you are a current SharePoint customer or not you should learn about the next generation of SharePoint and the ways it can improve your business.
