SharePoint seminars
14 September -Brisbane; 17 September - Melbourne; 21 September - Adelaide; 22 September - Sydney
For many years, document and record management technologies have been expensive, hard to implement, and just plain hard to use. Against this background, the past decade has seen Microsoft SharePoint go from a workgroup collaboration tool, to being the primary tool for many organisations to execute on their information management strategy. At this event, OBS will examine this trend, as well as share insights and real world experience on using SharePoint as a document and records management platform. This session will be hosted by Andy Neumann (General Manager OBS), and Des Russell (Senior Solutions Specialist, OBS).
