Expert Webinar Series 2012
Managing Information in SharePoint – Deep Dives into SharePoint Architecture and Knowledge Management
The 2011 Series of Expert Webinars hosted jointly by Project Performance Corporation (PPC) and Concept Searching proved so successful that we have decided to run a second Series, building on the 2011 Webinars, to develop understanding of how to use SharePoint to be an effective information management resource.

Anyone can use SharePoint for collaboration, but you need a core enterprise strategy to maximize the disparate tools available to achieve a common goal. We are here to advise on how to reshape and develop your strategy. We will discuss how Concept Searching’s Smart Content Framework™ can help you leverage out of the box resources to manage your information, to make it more strategic, effective and compliant.

Expert guest speakers from partners and clients join the Series to share their experiences through case studies, and we hope this Series will prove to be both educational as well as instructional in the use of best practices. For full details of the Expert Webinar Series 2012 click here.
