SharePoint’s expanding set of capabilities, recently boosted by the release of SharePoint 2010, has made it central to many enterprise work environments. The product’s vast and growing number of business users are intent on using SharePoint to support an increasingly varied array of dynamic business processes.

Yet many organizations risk pushing SharePoint beyond its best use, based on wrong assumptions about its capabilities. In a 2010 AIIM survey, respondents reported that managing process change was the biggest single deployment issue they encountered during their SharePoint implementation projects. To leverage the SharePoint ecosystem while minimizing the risk of failure due to mismatched expectations, organizations must consider complementing SharePoint with additional business process flexibility.

During this fast-paced and interactive webcast, participants will learn how:

-Current Approaches to leveraging SharePoint for Process Management

-When Dynamic BPM is a necessary add-on to your SharePoint ecosystem

-How to Safely Leverage SharePoint When Processes are Mission Critical

-The Role of Business Rules in BPM and SharePoint
-The Role of BPM in Risk Management for SharePoint 2010 Migration

-Applying Performance Metrics and Process Analytics to SharePoint Environments

-Examples of Current Approaches for Leveraging SharePoint (Use Cases and Case Studies)

The format will be 30 minutes of presentation followed by 15 minutes of Q&A. Both slides and sound will be presented online, via web browser. Access requires a computer with audio output and an Internet connection.
