Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Masterclass – 24th November

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.

Local BCS Committee Member appointed Vice Chair of the BCS Membership Board

The calibre of the Isle of Man section of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, has recently been reinforced by the appointment of a local committee member to high office in the Institute worldwide.

Steve Burrows, a director and treasurer of BCS Isle of Man, an international section of BCS The Chartered Institute for IT, has been appointed Vice Chair of the BCS Membership Board. The Membership Board is responsible for all aspects of membership for the Institute’s 70,000 members.

Bob Sullivan, Chairman of BCS Isle of Man, said “We’re delighted at Steve’s appointment, it is very rare for overseas members to achieve such important roles in BCS because of our limited opportunities to network with influential UK based members and the logistics of attending board meetings in the UK. Steve’s appointment not only reflects great credit and recognition to our Isle of Man section, but also ensures that overseas sections such as the Isle of Man are not forgotten when BCS is developing plans that will affect our professional members”.
