Is your SharePoint implementation reaching its full potential? Do the admins and content owners know how to get the most out of the system and drive adoption? The SharePoint Maturity model can help you understand where you are and build your roadmap to the future. The Model applies a holistic view to a SharePoint implementation, and brings standardization to the conversation around functionality, best practices, and improvement. The benefits of the Model are threefold: it lets SharePoint implementation owners gain an understanding of their current state, helps them define their strategic roadmap, and creates a data model to assist all SP users in benchmarking their level against others from similar industries and years of use. The speaker will take the audience through the competencies and levels, including visual case studies; share current data from assessments against the Model; and provide templates for self-assessment. Speaker - Richard Harbridge, Senior SharePoint Evangelist, Allin Consulting  Richard Harbridge is an internationally recognized expert in Microsoft SharePoint and is a technology and business evangelist with deep expertise in information architecture, enterprise content management, and technology strategy. He has defined, architected, developed and implemented well over a hundred SharePoint solutions from small implementations on a single server to over 80,000+ user implementations in international organizations.
As a sought-after speaker he often shares his insights, experiences, and advice around collaboration, knowledge management, social computing, ROI, governance, user adoption and training at many industry events.
Richard hopes to see you/speak with you at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference as it’s an amazing event where hundreds of people exchange and share experience, knowledge, and relationships to help us all become even better at our jobs and the things we are passionate about.

Microsoft has unleashed their cloud strategy and Office 365 is now publically available. What does this mean for organizations using SharePoint today? How can organizations leverage the Microsoft cloud effectively with their SharePoint implementations and future SharePoint Strategies? In the marketplace, information on SharePoint ‘and the cloud’ abounds. Much of this information is fluffy, ‘cloud-like’ marketing material, or does not clearly explain how businesses can practically leverage “Cloud” technology with SharePoint. Join Richard as he discusses the practical application of Microsoft's cloud technology and SharePoint, when it has brought measurable benefit to organizations, and when to avoid it. Geared toward companies struggling with understanding what SharePoint in the Cloud really is, those that have not yet implemented SharePoint and those looking to migrate from an in-house implementation to a hosted implementation.
