An exclusive interview with Bob Bueltmann founder and Executive VP of KnowledgeLake and Joachim Froning, CEO and co-owner of DICOM.

Introduction:

SharePoint is the fastest growing product in the history of Microsoft, how has it affected the traditional Enterprise Content Management market and what does it mean to the channel.

User Adoption and SharePoint – Tips For Success

The real challenge with rolling out a new SharePoint Content Management solution is gaining user adoption. This is no “Field of Dreams”; just because you build it doesn’t mean they will come. In fact, you’re dreaming if you think they will!

One of the most significant factors, when implementing SharePoint is not software functionality, process alignment or organizational change, its effective user adoption. All the terrific features and plans are worthless if nobody wants to use them.

I recently attended a presentation by Kanwal Hipple on User Adoption and would like to share a number of recommendations.

KnowledgeLake User Conference is now under a 100 days away, are you registered?

A word from the President of KnowledgeLake – Ron Cameron

It has been eleven sensational years since my partners and I started KnowledgeLake, and it gives me great pride to announce the inaugural national KnowledgeLake User Conference. This one-day event will be held in Anaheim, California the day before the Microsoft SharePoint Conference.

SharePoint – Are You Educated? Top 10 SharePoint Educational Opportunities for 2011

There are now dozens of SharePoint conferences, seminars and educational opportunities running throughout the United States. KnowledgeLake participates in many of them and over the years I’ve probably attended most of them. Below you’ll find what I consider the top 10 events worth consideration for 2011. I hope you find it useful, if you have any specific questions drop me an email at kevin.ells@knowledgelake.com.

AIIM Paper Free Day – Commit to reduction in paper use in your office

On Oct 28th AIIM held a World Paper Free Day, an educational effort to help everyone understand the benefits of reducing paper use in the work place.
Paper is a costly crutch and one that may be handicapping your office more than helping.

Paper Free Day asked members to commit one day to:
• Conscientiously make a point not to print
• Investigate a business process or technology that can cut paper waste in your office
• Participate or produce a local Paper Free Day event
