Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Masterclass – 24th November

November 7th, 2011

In a recent survey by the Association for Information and Image Management, 50 percent of UK organisations expect to be live on Microsoft SharePoint 2010 by the end of 2011.

Whilst many organisations are already successfully using the intranet and collaboration technology, more advanced features such as extranets, website templates with webparts, automated forms processing, business process workflow and records management are not nearly as widely deployed.

BMN are a Microsoft Gold Partner and specialists in all things SharePoint helping clients such as BP and KPMG to reshape their systems with significant cost savings and new business opportunities.

Qorus Technologies are developers of document assembly software installed at clients such as Vodafone, fund managers and retail chains.

Duncan Lawrie, private bankers, are part of Camelia PLC, an international group listed on the London Stock Exchange with over 75,000 employees.

The event will be held at the Claremont Hotel in Douglas, with doors opening at 5:30pm for a 6pm start.
