'Delivering Success with SharePoint and BizTalk'  seminar series to commence again in Summer 2010

The final “Delivering Success with SharePoint & BizTalk” seminar took place at Microsoft’s Thames Valley Park (TVP) Campus in Reading on 16 March 2010. The hugely successful seminars have been running every two months over the past three years alternating between Microsoft's Thames Valley Park Campus and its London office in Cardinal Place. Previously showcasing technologies including Office 2007, MOSS 2007 and more recently BizTalk Server 2009, delegates were given the chance to see how BizTalk and SharePoint can be engineered in an enterprise architecture to work seamlessly together in scenarios that included: BizTalk’s Business Rules Engine processing data collected by MOSS hosted InfoPath forms, and using BizTalk’s Business Activity Monitoring functionality to raise alerts surfaced in a MOSS based intranet.

Mark Usher, Solidsoft Business Development Director is now looking forward to further enhancing the seminars utilising SharePoint 2010 features such as the new Performance Point Service features. “We are currently evolving the content of seminars to include the latest versions of Office, SharePoint and BizTalk. I’m looking forward to the next series of events which will be launched in summer this year.” (17/03/10)
