10 Best SharePoint Features You’ve Never Used
Your team is competent in the SharePoint basics of adding, editing, and removing content. Maybe someone on your team has even become quite adept at building SharePoint Designer workflows. But most books and articles seem to jump from the basic to the incredibly complex, where you have to be a dev to understand the content much less utilize it in your SharePoint environment.
In this session, Microsoft MVP Christian Buckley will bridge this gap, demonstrating 10 of the best features that you've likely never used, but should be using. This is a 100-level end user and power user session walking through lessor known out-of-the-box features that may help with productivity.
SharePoint Compliance: Securing the Content & Infrastructure
Axceler and HiSoftware invite you to an upcoming webinar that will focus on the issues surrounding SharePoint security, compliance, and governance.
Because SharePoint makes it is so easy to build new sites, SharePoint systems can grow quickly and become unwieldy. Additionally, the creation and storage of content in SharePoint introduces risk that information may be accessed by or shared with individuals outside of the regulatory and corporate policies designed to protect sensitive information.
If administered wisely, SharePoint can be a tremendously powerful resource. And that is why a SharePoint governance plan—and the tools to manage and enforce it—are essential.
Join us on this webinar to find out how you can:
- Scan SharePoint content to analyze risk and automatically classify and protect this information
- Implement item-level security - restrict, encrypt, track and prevent
- Prevent sensitive content from leaving SharePoint through email, print or "save as"
- Cleanup and manage SharePoint permissions
- Audit SharePoint storage and activity
- Monitor SharePoint permissions
- Enforce user policies
- And more...
We hope you can join us on this webinar to find out how Axceler’s ControlPoint and HiSoftware’s Security Sheriff SP work to keep your SharePoint environment secure.

Aligning SharePoint to Business Goals: Don't Just Say It, Do It
It is common to hear consultants wax lyrical about how we have to align SharePoint to "business goals". While this and other popular clichés like "obtain executive support" or "obtain user buy-in" are easy to say, in practice they are much harder to do. After all, if this was not the case, then business goal alignment would not be near the top of the list for SharePoint challenges.
Deploying Microsoft SharePoint is about alignment, adaption and adoption (all that “people stuff” that geeks suck at). Current SharePoint governance documentation abounds in service delivery, but just because your system is rock solid, stable, well documented and processes defined, there is absolutely no guarantee of success. In fact, the secret sauce to a successful SharePoint project is an area that governance documentation barely touches. To find what’s in this secret sauce, come and be part of this discussion!
Rather than just tell you what is wrong with the world, in this session, Paul Culmsee and Michal Pisarek will offer practical guidance, tools and methods on how to tame this complex problem. They will demonstrate how to ensure that all aspects of SharePoint delivery clearly align to organizational aspirations, ensure all stakeholder needs are considered and at the same time, create the understanding and commitment via an inclusive, collaborative approach.
Session topics:
- Why aligning organizational goals is hard
- Why SharePoint belongs to a class of problems that are inherently hard to solve
- Why users have trouble articulating what they really want
- The reality of how we actually solve new or novel problems
- How to avoid chasing platitudes and tap into the wisdom of crowds
- The one best practice you need before you consider any other best practice
- Field tests, practical tools and techniques
How to Develop and Enforce SharePoint Governance Policies through Services and Software
One of the keys to SharePoint's popularity is its ease of use - users can create collaborative websites in less than 5 minutes. But, because it is so easy to build new sites, SharePoint systems can grow quickly and, if not administered wisely, become unwieldy.

On this webinar you will see how Axceler’s ControlPoint governance and administration software and Jornata’s AutoPilot managed service offering work together to give SharePoint administrators a standardized governance model and maintenance plan for SharePoint deployments, including proactive support for farms, information management and application policies.
