Unified Communications Meets Enterprise 2.0 - Social Computing Love Fest or Battle Royale? (Twitter #UCE2)Tuesday, May 19 — 4:00–5:00 PM
Adoption of Unified Communications is on the rise, with the promise of more integration between users, business applications and the communication systems that support them. But IT and business managers have also had their eye on Enterprise 2.0 applications that some would argue are trying to achieve the same objectives. Are the UC and E2 agendas coming together or are they destined to duke it out for their share of the social enterprise?

Enterprise 2.0 Workshops
Assessing Portal, Search and SharePoint Technologies for the EnterpriseWednesday, May 20 — 8:30 AM–4:30 PM
Morning Session
8:30 AM -11:45 AM
Accessing Enterprise Information via Portals and Search Technology
With immense document volumes coursing through organizations, traditional data access approaches cannot cope. This leaves critical business knowledge untapped, unmanaged, and idle. Hence the rise of Enterprise Portal and Enterprise Search technologies. However, most customers of these tools fail to realize the full potential of the technologies.
This workshop offers a fast-paced primer on Enterprise Portal and Enterprise Search technologies. We will look at how to manage and exploit maximum value from better access to "unstructured content," including how to marry this information with your current "structured data" activities. The workshop will remain strictly vendor neutral and will aim to give real-world examples and methods, suitable for both technical and more business-oriented attendees alike.
Course Outline * Introduction to Enterprise Portals * Portal Architectures and Features * Portal Marketplace and Implementation Pitfalls * Introduction to Enterprise Search * Technology, Features, and Tuning * Search & Information Access Marketplace and Implementation Pitfalls
Afternoon Session
1:15 PM -4:30 PM
Evaluating SharePoint in the Enterprise
This intensive workshop offers a critical evaluation, detailing SharePoint's strengths and weaknesses culled from customer experiences and hands-on testing. Through presentations and discussion, the workshop helps you figure out how, where, when, and why to use SharePoint and reviews how well SharePoint "fits" into different types and sizes of enterprises with different business objectives.
Course Outline * What is SharePoint 2007 -- what is it not * Introduction to SharePoint Architectures * Evaluating SharePoint's core "Six Pillars" * Assessing SharePoint as an application development platform

Enabling The Journey To Cloud Computing - Sponsored by VMwareWednesday, May 20 — 3:15–4:00 PM
Early industry conversations have focused on external, public cloud infrastructure, often biased to a new breed of applications. However, the reality is that businesses don't have the luxury of throwing away today's applications in favor of new architectures. This session shows a pragmatic approach of turning today's datacenter into an internal cloud. Learn how to bridge internal resources with available external resources, and achieve the full flexibility and benefits of a cloud computing environment that spans internal and external cloud infrastructure, presenting a seamless, managed cloud to the business.

To date, technology analysts have quite properly focused on the social and business aspects of Enterprise 2.0 technologies. And yet, Enterprise 2.0 tools (including collaboration suites, pure-play blog / wiki / social-networking products, and revamped portal products from major vendors) differ quite substantially in maturity, approach, and support. This session will share customer research from noted evaluation firm CMS Watch on leading Enterprise 2.0 technologies, and provide a framework for customers to evaluate the marketplace based on their own needs.
