The following are just a few of the applications that provides remote access to SharePoint from a device other than your computer.  The way that most people work requires them to be able to access corporate information at any time.  Having access to the SharePoint environment from their portable device will become increasingly easy and increasingly important for business users.

These applications offer a much richer SharePoint experience than accessing your SharePoint site through your devices browser, increasing user satisfaction and allowing fast access to the SharePoint environment’s content.

Here’s one reason why SharePoint projects often end up costing more than originally anticipated!

I had a great time presenting to the Atlanta SharePoint User’s Group earlier this week. My presentation covered something I call “The 5 SharePoint Personality Types”. My presentation is meant to arm you with information and resources to assist you in overcoming their arguments against SharePoint.

As I stated in the outline for my talk:

As a SharePoint consultant, Lee Reed often experiences 5 distinct personality types that challenge SharePoint as it’s introduced, or re-introduced, into an organization.  These user personalities often work against the successful deployment of SharePoint and cause chaos for a SharePoint deployment team.  In his presentation, Lee will discuss the 5 SharePoint Personality Types frequently found within an organization and will outline a battle plan to overcome the most common challenges they represent.

Lee’s presentation applies to all versions of SharePoint and will assist your organization to use SharePoint with fewer headaches and reduced deployment-induced stress syndrome (aka D.I.S.S).

Each resource that I refer to within the presentation has a URL provided. Given that Internet URL’s change, these links may work well for a relatively short time.  As I said during my presentation, “If you are taking notes on the content of my presentation, make sure you write them on a deposit slip because these tips are like money in the bank.” *my attempt at humor*  Seriously, I wish someone had given me this information prior to my starting to work with SharePoint 7 years ago.

I hope that you find the information I’ve written in this presentation useful.  Feel free to download my presentation from SlideShare.net and use it to your hearts content!

I was recently wondering what markets in the US were hot for SharePoint professionals.  After I Bing’d “SharePoint Jobs” (nope, still doesn’t sound right) I couldn’t find any information on the topic.  Therefore, I decided to do some quick research and make a map of my own.  The outcome is the map below of the top 10 metro areas for SharePoint opportunities in the US.  This information maps relatively well to what I know of the SharePoint market and served to confirm that the need for SharePoint Professionals is still very, very hot!

If you are a current SharePoint Pro looking for a new city and a new opportunity, these are the hot areas.  If you are interested in becoming a SharePoint Pro and live in one of these areas, begin studying for that certification exam because there aren’t enough SharePoint Professionals out there to fulfill the need!
