“Yes but…” is a common answer given by experienced SharePoint consultants when asked if a particular solution design “will work”. One of the key reasons for this is that SharePoint’s greatest strength is one of its weaknesses. The sheer number of components or features jam packed into the product, means that there are many complex interactions between them – often with small gotchas or large caveats that were not immediately apparent while the sales guy was dutifully taking you through the SharePoint pie diagram.
Unfortunately, some organisations trip up on such untested assumptions at times, and in turn it can renders the logical edificice of their solution design invalid. This is costly in terms of lost time to change approaches, but increased complecity since sometimes workarounds are worse than the caveats. In this fun, lively and interactive session, Michal Pisarek will put his MVP (not really) on the line, and with a little help from Paul Culmsee, examine some of SharePoint’s common caveats. Make no mistake, understanding these caveats and the approaches for mitigating them will save you considerable time, money and heartache.

In this session you'll see how a poorly utilised SharePoint 2007 deployment was transformed into a readily adoptable solution and how it was so much more than SharePoint alone that made it a success!
