Homnick Tackles Project Management in SharePoint 2010
Join us on Thursday, January 13th in Boca as Microsoft Regional Director Joe Homnick shows us how SharePoint 2010 handles Project Management. One of the immediate values SharePoint can deliver to an organization is the ability to address project management challenges, such as inefficient communication among stakeholders, poor information management practices, and undefined project collaboration standards that compromise project success.
In this session, Joe shows how SharePoint 2010 can be turned into a complete Project Management System (PMS) using built in collaboration, lists, charts, and integration into Microsoft Project and Project Server.
