Follow the Money
Or shall I say, in my world, follow the Information! It has been said many times that SharePoint is what connects People, Process, and Information. It’s true. Yet, things change a bit. Over time, something else might pick up the game and run with it. Say Yammer. So instead of going with the Business Collaboration…

Notes on TechEd 2013 North America
I attended my first ever TechEd conference last week, and what a deal that was. Definitely, an awesome place to be at. A ton of people, I heard close to 10K, but cannot confirm. The place was New Orleans, LA at the convention center. I think to summarize my experience there, and looking ahead, I…

Connecting People, Process and Information
Does it sound familiar? The message, the vision, the strategy, the goal of becoming a company fully deployed on SharePoint. SharePoint, The Business Collaboration Platform for the Enterprise and the Web can simply become and adapt to you, as a person, as an organization. SharePoint, The organizational Operating System.

Event ID: 8085 – Business Data Connectivity Service Application is not accessible

It makes me think and strategize. So let’s expand on the concept of this platform thing. The platform on which…

It is very exciting to see how the product has progressed over these years and how Microsoft® stood behind it to get it to where it is today. With over a 100 million licenses sold, it is…

To The Cloud, a brief look at Cloud-related matters
What do you want to know about the Cloud? Lots to read and learn, and lots more to experience. If you are not lost in the clouds about the Cloud, you haven’t been around lately. It is crazy out there. It is the new hype and you need to get on the bus. It’s actually…

Remember The Name
This is not a blog post on Fort Minor’s Remember The Name song even though I like the song itself and I think it says a lot about our alter-ego along with a bunch of other stuff. This post is about remembering individuals, who during our lifetime, have inspired us. It’s about people, a person,…

Imagine a World without Attachments
Imagine for a second a world without any email attachments. Got to thinking yesterday about this whole thing we call email and how SharePoint plays a major role today inside of organizations trying to get rid of email attachments. I was thinking of the “why” behind email attachments. What was the main reason behind having…

Prevent your Contributors from adding Scriptable Web Parts in SharePoint 2010
We all heard of the Content Editor Web Part and how SharePoint users can take advantage of it. You’ll find blog entries here and there talking about the God-given powers of the editor web part and how in few lines of JavaScript code, or may I say JQuery code, you may do this and do…
