Mastering SharePoint 2013: Succeeding, Not Just Surviving

Total Running Time: 506 min

Building on the success of the “Mastering SharePoint 2010” seminars, the presenters have updated the content to cover the latest and greatest SharePoint product: SharePoint 2013. While SharePoint 2013 is relatively new on the marketplace, the presenters have been working with SharePoint 2013 for well over a year, and have implemented it with a number of clients in production environments. While similar to SharePoint 2010 in many respects, SharePoint 2013 introduces a number of new features and capabilities that are important to understand.

This course will help attendees understand key differences between SharePoint 2010 and 2013, and understand the advantages and challenges involved in implementing SharePoint 2013 or upgrading from a previous version. A common concern of organizations using the SharePoint product line is that they aren’t effectively using the tools provided by the SharePoint platform and have ended up with an expensive “file share on steroids.” These courses will help you understand how other organizations are crafting a “right-sized” solution from the SharePoint toolset and realizing real business benefits through the use of specific tools and features.

We’ll pay special attention to the development capabilities of SharePoint 2013 around workflows and forms, since many different organizations can benefit from the use of these technologies. In addition, we’ll cover the Business Intelligence (BI) capabilities of SharePoint, since this is another incredibly powerful set of tools that can save organizations a great deal of money, and enhance the way they do business.
