Joel Oleson has a good post about determining your SQL server requirements in your SharePoint implementation. A good resource for planning.

Omaha SharePoint User Group

I presented at the Omaha SharePoint User Group last night (12/16/2009). Good meeting and a great discussion. I did the same presentation that I did at SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City. One thing I did find out was that my tag that has my contact information was password protected. Talk about a downer. Here’s a cool little application that allows mobile phone users to capture information using their phone camera and then my tag doesn’t work. Oh well. Not everything can go perfectly. I have updated my tag settings and updated the tag on this website in case someone wants to try it again. Let me know if you use the TAG and what your results were.

For more information about the Omaha SharePoint User Group or other Microsoft user groups in Omaha, go to the Omaha Microsoft Technology Group website.

SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City

I presented “What I Wish I Knew Before I Implemented SharePoint” at SharePoint Saturday in Kansas City on 12/12/2009. This is a 100-level presentation that is meant to be a general overview of the process of implementing SharePoint.

I enjoyed my time there and for those in my session, you can download the slide-deck here.

Also, for reference, here are a list of links that I referenced during the session.

You can also get my contact information from my tag.

******** UPDATE ***********

I was informed that my tag was password protected. Lo-and-behold, it was and so I created a new tag. This one should not be password protected.

What I Wish I Knew Before I Implemented SharePoint

I just submitted my presentation for SharePoint Saturday – Kansas City on 12-12-2009. I have given many presentations but never at a SharePoint conference. I am stoked! Here’s a brief outline. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

I wish I knew that before I implemented SharePoint!

I have heard that statement many times. In fact, I have uttered that exact phrase at least once! Because of the different ways SharePoint is introduced into organizations, sometimes things just don’t go right. This session will help you formulate a plan and give you pointers to successfully implement SharePoint in your organization.
