Too often we hear that SharePoint isn't effective for business teams, or it just doesn't work and becomes a glorified file share. That's because IT departments don't think about "enabling" their business teams to succeed, they think about "provisioning" a SharePoint site. This session will focus on an enablement methodology that helps to ensure that business teams get value out of SharePoint. We'll focus on a methodology for enabling business teams - and include discussion around outcomes, behaviors, knowledge and how to design and release configured SharePoint sites that provide exceptional value to the teams that will use the site day in and day out. This session is for both business and technical teams.
Any investment in an IT project has to exceed a specific ROI in order to be justified. However, it is easier to calculate “hard dollars” benefits for investments in ERP or eCommerce solutions than it is for collaboration or enterprise content management solutions such as SharePoint. Nonetheless, organizations have heavily invested in such solutions over the past 10 years, as benefits associated with collaboration solutions are undeniable, even if they are hard to quantify. Come join us to understand why measurement is critical to any SharePoint deployment. When to start measuring. Who to involve. How to plan and execute a measurement strategy.
I step (pun intended) through all of the new features in SharePoint 2013 Workflows, including loops and stages. We'll also cover web services and dictionaries.

The SharePoint 2013 App Model provides the ability to add and run a workflow in a SharePoint App. In this session I will demonstrate how to use App event receivers to associate a workflow to any list in the Host Web or App Web. The session will include creating, adding, deploying and running the app. Associating the workflows via an event receiver instead of directly makes it possible to keep the list data even if the app is uninstalled, because the list defintion will be separated from the workflow definition. Then we can associate the workflow with any list, whether it's residing inside the app itseld or in the host web.
This session will give you an understanding and a tour of all the different options you can use to create a mobile-enabled SharePoint web site.
