Topic: Microsoft SharePoint/O365 Workflow with Nintex

In this session we will discuss how workflow automation can help maximize your investment in Microsoft SharePoint and Office 365. We will demonstrate how Nintex (Workflow/Forms) can automate your time-consuming, manual processes and create streamlined workflows in every department (HR, Operations, Finance, Sales, Marketing, IT) of your organization. Nintex is an intuitive, non-code, browser-based, drag-and-drop workflow/form designer that reduces the work involved in building, using and improving processes. We will also look at how other companies are benefiting from automating their business processes.

Presentation: The Intranet Reloaded – Not your grandma’s old Intranet

The Intranet was long been viewed as a basic portal to share news and information about the business and possibly keep link to a few documents.

More recently, a different train on thought has flipped this idea on its head and challenged us to think about using the concept of the Intranet as a focal point for digital content to deliver a more managed and integrated workplace experience.

Shailen will present on just such a journey that a client has taken with their Intranet site to reach a higher maturity model by leveraging the Intranet as a platform for integrating News, Notifications, Videos, Payslips, Search, Rostering, Careers, Targeting, Multi-device support, Documents and People Search and all of this in just the first release with plans to build a lot more functionality on top.

Topics presented in this talk will include:

The Digital Workplace Maturity Model
Office 365
Azure
ADFS
Taxonomy
SharePoint Add-Ins (formerly Apps)
Thinking of Performance as a feature
Differences between an Intranet and a Digital Workplace

Presenter: Shailen Sukul

Shailen is a SharePoint/Office 365 Consultant, Azure Architect, SCRUM Master and Evangelist and has worked for clients in the US and Australia on technologies in SharePoint and Azure.

When not working with SharePoint/Azure, he likes to tinker with Kiosks for his Startup in his spare time.

He currently lives in Melbourne, Australia with his wife and 4 year old boy, but also commutes to California for work occasionally.

Presentation Topic #1: SharePoint Governance and the Role of the Site OwnerMetalogix – Metalogix

A functional governance plan is essential for a SharePoint farm, but often times the site owners are not accounted for. With farms growing larger it is becoming more important to involve the users who actually own the content as it is impractical to think that IT should know and understand all of the content on each site. The session will focus on key components to a SharePoint governance plan but with a focus on the role of site owners and content owners.
