SharePoint vaticinantur 2009

Ive 'lego pauci in retrospectives 2008 and this has got me to thinking about 2009. Here are my guesses at the future of SharePoint in 2009.

Parva Disclaimer

MVP sum, et ex SharePoint, I sometimes get a little advance information before it’s public. I am NOT making any such information public. I really haven’t been around long enough to be entrusted with that kind of stuff anyway.

Cum illo de via,, in praedictiones ...

INCITATUS

I believe that FAST will become a very hot topic in 2009. It’s already well known in the enterprise search community. Autem, quod quisque ludit in circuitu SharePoint 2009 will soon be interested in this product and what it can do for them. New consulting companies will spring up around it and existing partners will work and scramble to add it to its portfolio. This time next year, audivi fere omnes in synagoga et opinionem SharePoint QUADRAGESIMA.

FAST is targeted at large companies and that will continue. I think there’s at least an outside chance that Microsoft will release a more focused version of the product that is accessible to smaller companies. Failing that, they will open up the SharePoint search engine so that it can be customized along the lines that FAST can be customized. Verbigratia, FAST uses pipeline architecture for consuming content and indexing it. FAST admins and developers can assemble pipeline components per data source and even create new pipeline components. We don’t have this flexibility with SharePoint today. If FAST remains firmly targeted at very large companies, SharePoint quaerere recipient aliquod ieiunium features est scriptor.

SharePoint V.Next

Et erit in 2009.

I believe that it will provide us the ability to secure views on a list or document library. Hoc plus spei potest esse quam opinionem

Spero is mos suggero nonnullus melior suscipio pro users in finem SharePoint artifex, et maxime workflow.

Nescio multaque, I have been actively tracking what I do find here: http://delicious.com/pagalvin/SharePoint_O14.

Applications Lorem concionatorum creabit

Hodie, most SharePoint vendors seem to be gadget oriented. Take Bamboo aut Corasworks enim. They have a huge following and great portfolio of products. Autem, videntur illi quidem mihi gadgety vel elit / tool focused. Admin tools, workflow instrumenta, etc. That’s not a criticism at all because SharePoint can definitely use some gadgets.

In 2009, quibusdam mercatoribus (et forsitan se Bamboo, si hoc legere Recte) pariter ponam verticalized negotium applications in forma Templates, features, solutiones, etc. I’m thinking about the fabulous forty templates today but tailored to specific industries. I’m sort of surprised it’s not already exploited this way. SharePoint is a platform for delivering these kinds of things. What’s everyone waiting for? They won’t wait any longer in 2009.

Simul, Silverlight alius frigus. NET erit cibus novum effercio, melius et magis interesting gadgets.

Sharepointreviews.com erit communitas essentialium Catalogus haec producta.

User finem Focus

2009 videbunt cessum ultimum User ut focus in a major bloggers, organizations and Microsoft themselves. Marcus Tullius Cicero Finis User SharePoint.Com lusit magna munus in in 2008 and will continue to do so in 2009. End Users will begin to blog, Adjuvabit transmutare in user coetus minus technica venues et convincere etiam aliquis vel ordo ad finem deducere pura User focused colloquio.

Conferentiae, User coetus, Codex Campis, etc

Speaking of conferences – they will continue to expand and grow in number and focus. Aside from end user content, et permanere ad tincidunt ad tincidunt et administratores.

Rectum Conferentiarum erit committitur ad colligunt esse colloquia et dabit vivunt pascitur remotiora attendees qui non potest eligere vel non attendunt ad personam.

Liber collapse mos venues, quales Mike Lotter scriptor (al) SharePoint sabbati.

Ipsum quod futurum est, quia futurum tincidunt magna novus influxus, admins et finem users quisnam erit appetitus genus notitia istis provideat.

Socialis Computing

Demand for social computing features will rise. All things being equal, ut efficax coetus sociales implement consilia computandi melius et fortius eorum competitores.

Minor turmas suscipere horum features citius et efficacius, quam magna turmas.

Lorem ipsum dolor: cave

Optimus Actiones versus remediation

In 2008, multum SharePoint bloggers et Institutis et consumpta multum tempus remanens ex Microsoft se optime quorumdamve problematum solutionem (plerumque technicis problematibus).

There are still opportunities to define and foster adoption of best practices. Autem, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet institutionem remanens ex nobis, configurare et curo SharePoint, turmas suas centeni et milleni sunt installing, Vestibulum ac moribus optime administrandi SharePoint sine illis adpropinquavit.

In 2009, a lot of companies are going to realize they have some deeply rooted problems to solve and will be looking to the elite members of the SharePoint community and Microsoft for help to fix them. I think this will extend well into 2010 et nequaquam excludunt umbraculum providere industria remediation officia turmas quod vere postulo utor SharePoint, sed quia laedendi male pauperum decisiones diluculo in eorum exsecutionem.

Matris redibit Navis

In 2009, Mater navis revertentes Bob Fox domum perducat.

Ultima Cogitata

Non committitur operantes SharePoint me in aliquo reali, donec Januarii 2007. Videtur mihi traditis SharePoint ipsa capax est et probatum sit amet aufertur biennium pretium. Puto quod multipliciter, non uere sibi de donec corrigas infrastructure update. Adhuc habet et cimices problems, sed per viam, venerunt omnes cum weve 01/2007. 2009 annus futurus sit in signum SharePoint.

Optimus Actiones SharePoint conferentia Feb 2-4, 2009

I’ll be doing two presentations at the SharePoint Best Practices Conference this February in San Diego.

Hoc fieri non satis est ut per DEFESSUS, ita omnibus conferentia visitem est, ingenue, terribilis. Autem, I do think this conference is special. There is zero marketing focus and the whole thing is about offering real-world practical advice on how to untangle some of the thorniest issues we face dealing with SharePoint. It’s not gigantic, so all of the speakers are very accessible (at least when they are not putting out fires back home). This means that in addition to the great formal presentations, you can have some great conversations and debates with virtually every speaker at almost any time, starting with communal breakfast up to late night imbibing at the hotel bar.

Beyond the speakers, you’ll have great opportunities to build and cement networks of other SharePoint users in the community. By the end of the last session and conference wrap-up, you’ll be energized and full of good ideas to bring back to work to help improve your SharePoint environment.

It’s well worth the investment.

The web site is top notch. Check it out for dates, registration, topics and speakers.

Perlegendis 1,000 In Blog 3 Quattuor Temporum Amissus vigilo septimanas in a volutpat vestibulum

Hac praeterita aestate, while I was working on two chapters for the best SharePoint social computing book ever, I began to get very far behind in my blog reading. I use Google Reader for my RSS stuff and when you have more than 1000 INLECTUS items, sicut dicit illud, "1000 ".

Super permaneo pauci weeks, I’ve been sitting down and systematically reading them and tagging them as I go for future reference (I use Delicious.com).

This past weekend I watched all of Lost, season four in a couple of sittings and catching up on 1000+ blog entries feels the same way.

Portandis SharePoint Designer Lorem Ipsum ab uno List ut Alius

Marcam Miller super ad www.endusersharepoint.com missae extremum articulus in SharePoint Designer workflow hic (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1037).

I describe the basic approach for moving a workflow you create in one list to another list. The other list can be in the same site, eadem site collectione, seu diversae penitus firmam (e.g. a development ad productionem).

This is a complicated subject so I only covered a very basic scenario. Proxima septimana, I’ll write up a more useful real world example.

Quare non possum Facile Port SharePoint Designer Lorem Ipsum Solutions Ex Unus List ut Alius?

Mark Miller proposuit novissima mea End User orientatur SharePoint Designer Lorem Ipsum articulus sursum in eius site hic: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1008

Sea aggredior quaestionis providere, "Why can’t I easily port a SharePoint designer workflow from development to test?" In the process, I also give some insight into what SPD is actually doing behind the scenes when we use it to create a workflow solution.

Proxima septimana, I describe an End User friendly way to port SPD workflow from one server to another, or at least as End User friendly a solution as is possible given the state of the tool set.

Definiens Findability Forsit

I had the good fortune of attending some partner training from FAST last spring. I was really impressed with the product and was looking forward to working with it. Infeliciter, one project fell through and then EMC acquired my company. Predictably, a certain amount of chaos ensued while we learned about EMC and EMC learned about us. FAST technology dropped a few points on the priority scale during that period. Autem, I never lost my interest in the product and, more interestingly, the bigger problem of findability.

I really don’t like that word, but I’m trying to get used to it 🙂 Despite it’s awkwardness, findability is a real (or at least, emerging) term. Do a live search if you’re interested in finding more technical definitions, but the way I explain it around the office is like this:

Intellectual capital that cannot be found may as well not exist.

It’s almost as true to say this:

Intellectual capital that cannot be found quickly and easily may as well not exist.

Intellectual capital (IC) starts as an idea in a person’s head and is then refined via collaboration with colleagues and interactions with various communities. To be truly useful, these resulting ideas must be recorded. This is where the trouble begins 🙂

Isti sunt dies,, recording normally means that the idea is documented in the form of an MS Word doc, Excel workbook, etc. and eventually stuck in electronic format on a hard drive somewhere. IC obviously takes other forms like, like images, videos, highly informative blogs, wikis … it’s impossible to list them all. Simul, IC is stored in a variety of places like file systems, databases, line of business applications (ERP, CRM, SharePoint, Documentum), etc.

This is the findability problem: how can quickly and easily find IC that is stored in dozens or hundreds of formats in dozens or hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands (dare I say hundreds of thousands) of locations in an organization?

It’s a difficult problem to solve. Bill English has been writing about findability from a very grand perspective in what I have come to think of as the Panama Canal approach. The history of the Panama Canal is amazing. In a nut shell, a crazy Frenchman (Ferdinand de Lesseps) started a private company to build the canal, the project was abandoned for some years, picked up again and finally finished by the American government under President Roosevelt. This reminds me of Bill’s approach because as he rightly points out, solving the findability is both hard and never stops. It took years and years of effort from the some of the hardest working humans on the planet to start, perseverant, and finally finish). And yet, it’s still not truly finished. Fuit quantum ego scient, the canal’s banks have never met their angle of repose, meaning that they have to be shored up and otherwise maintained even to this day. Solving findability is the same way. I definitely recommend that you read Bill’s series and subscribe to his blog for his point of view on findability, particularly as it relates to SharePoint.

I too am interested in this problem. Due to my exposure to FAST and on-going discussions on this subject with my brilliant EMC colleagues, I have some more ideas I plan to write about over the coming weeks and months. In my next article on this little series, I’m going to try and put a box around the problem to show how awful it really is (it’s more awful than you think 🙂 ). It’s awful, but at least it does fit inside a box.

Tergum Review on-line personalis Mini-: Mozy

De … ex parte effectus … of working for a giant corporation is that I get a lot press releases in my inbox every month. I’m still new to the EMC world, ita multum haec sunt volutpat, basically, inscrutable. This or that company purchased these or those EMC products, blah blah blah. I’m not complaining. I actually take this as an incentive to learn more about EMC as time goes by so that I better understand the big picture of what EMC is all about (innuere: suus 'fere Information).

ALIQUOTIES, Suspendisse facile iis omnino quorum unus erat Mozy. Mozy is an on-line backup tool. You install a lightweight client on your workstation (laptop in causam meam), dico vobis quod vos volo ut tergum sursum quod cum facit, tunc missis vestri notitia ad aliquam server(s) on the cloud. It does it in the background.

Cucurrit in tergum meum sub initialis 4 hours and according to Mozy is 550MB or so of data. I only backed up "My Documents" (Hinc, relative parva notitia).

Id recurrit (Puto 24 post horas), quidam plus effercio tergum sursum in circuitu 8 minutes. I never noticed it happen. There was no obvious impact on any work I was doing at the time.

EGO did a test user interface satis honestam iterum praebet ad lego lima(s) you want to restore. It was quick, RAPIDUS, informativus … Nescio quid melius esset.

I spoke to one of my colleagues about it who has more experience with online backup. He said that Mozy is good but that it lacks an ability to tell Mozy to do the equivalent of "restore files that I deleted." This is to say that if you don’t know you deleted a fie, aut si non meminimus: sed nomen, Mozy non potest auxilium vobis magis in terminis facile inveniendo id restituere.

They impose a 2GB limit if you just want to use the service for free. It looks like it’s $5/month for unlimited storage.

Imo linea, si quaeratur a me uterentur online tergum Mozy, nunc iure respondeo, "Hell, yes."
