Symon Garfield to Present on the Art of SharePoint Success at the Best Practices Conference

MAPLE GROVE, MN, March 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) Mindsharp, a SharePoint Training company, will be hosting the 2013 Best Practices Conference. This SharePoint Conference is unique because the focus will be on using SharePoint from the business side of the organization; there will not be an IT Pro or Developer track with technical information. There will be over 30 speakers from well-known profit and non-profit organizations, including Symon Garfield, Head of Business Consulting at Foundation SP. He specializes in supporting organizations develop and implement successful business strategies based on Microsoft productivity and cloud technologies. He is a co-author of the SharePoint 2010 Handbook, author of The Art of SharePoint Success, and a regular columnist for CMSWire.

His session topic "The Art of SharePoint Success: Delivering Business Value from SharePoint Investments" is packed with stories and experience from 6 years of consulting engagements with some of the world's leading organizations. Attendees will hear about the ten most common causes of SharePoint failure and learn the best practices needed to avoid them. The Art of SharePoint Success is a four point framework combining the best practices for SharePoint Governance, IT-Strategy Alignment, Business Architecture, and Transition that ensures an organization's investment in SharePoint delivers long term, measurable, business value.

Audience: Executives, managers, project managers, consultants, business analysts, and anyone involved in ensuring SharePoint is a business success

Date: May 16, 2013, 2:30-3:30PM
