Let’s do one on all about how SharePoint is not a network drive replacement. It would go all the problems folders cause with examples, etc.

Organizations often struggle in early SharePoint implementation to understand how to really utilize SharePoint and hit the ground running.

One of the most common ways that companies initially implement SharePoint is as a replacement for network drives.

Because of the obvious information management features like “Check Out” and “Versioning”, SharePoint administrators often think that SharePoint is just an improvement over storing information on network drives.

But SharePoint is NOT a replacmeent for network drives.

In this webinar we will discuss the best way to utilize SharePoint to manage information lifecycle and how to use SharePoint to implement business processes focused on that content.

Tom Robbins will discuss what SharePoint is truly designed for and best practices for Library architecture to avoid the problems caused by Folder structure.

Tom will also discuss how to move beyond the inefficient and antiquated practice of storing content in containers for categorizing and see how metadata implementation sets your SharePoint system up for success in many ways.

Topics to be covered:

  • What is SharePoint? The big picture!
  • What are Libraries and What can they be used for?
  • What is Metadata?
  • Folders vs Metadata
  • Common problems created by folders
  • Taking a complex folder structure and replacing it by architecting a Library for the content

Presenter: Tom Robbins (LinkedIn profile) has 25+ years in the telecommunications and IT industry. A Microsoft Certified Trainer and CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer, Tom has been training for more than 15 years on the Microsoft Enterprise suite of products.

Engagement is often seen as a top-down process driven by organizational management.

Employees often expect the company to do things to engage employees and hope our managers lead in a way that creates a culture of engagement.

While it’s true that employee engagement starts at the top, engagement is truly dependent on individual accountability.

  • Do you know what engages you?
  • Do you know why you are or aren’t engaged in your current position?
  • Are your positive emotions driving your engagement, or is it being inhibited by your negative emotions?
  • Do you know what intrinsically motivates you?

Learn the secrets to becoming a more engaged, motivated, and productive employee in this captivating and self-reflective session of self-discovery.
