SharePoint in the Enterprise: Best Uses, Trends, Tools & Strategies
Pete Iuvara (@peteiuvara): I recently attended and spoke at the SharePoint Saturday: The Conference this August 2011. My presentation was around real world applications on SharePoint: ideas, trends we’re seeing and actually uses. I also had the opportunity to speak with several experts in the field, and some current and future consumers of SharePoint. Here’s what most of the buzz was about.
Is it Time for a SharePoint App Store?
Derek Weeks (@weekstweets): For those with more knowledge of SharePoint, they know it offers great collaboration features, flexible web parts for designing user experiences, robust search and strong content management features. Although these features can be used out-of-the-box, they are better suited toward applications built on top of the platform. In order to move SharePoint from a user experience that many complain about today to its role as a platform for supporting robust business applications, the idea of an App Store needs to be considered. A SharePoint App Store would dramatically improve end-user adoption, speed delivery of business applications, and give people better productivity applications in order to get their work done.

But as a consultant, my job is not to tell you what the best product is; it’s to tell you what the best product is for your firm’s needs.
Governance Roundtable: What is SharePoint Governance?
Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet): One of the major benefits of participating in SharePoint events worldwide is the ability to get to know some of the thought leaders in the community and to leverage the collective unconscious. In between sessions, the hallways are usually lined with experts and attendees sharing their experiences, weighing in on the trending topics of the day. At a recent event, I found myself sitting in the lobby of the convention center with a couple fellow presenters discussing SharePoint governance: what it is, why it’s now such a hot topic in the community, and what people need to do about it. Rather than produce an opinion piece on the topic, I thought it would be interesting to share the roundtable dialog.
