SharePoint for Intranet

This is the second of my lectures which I held at the UCS conference with which, I must admit, I've had tons of fun (well I usually have a lot of fun doing lectures anyway). I've touched on all concepts of Enterprise Content Management as they pertain to building intranet solutions with SharePoint Server 2007. The core of it all being the Taxonomy, Standardisation, Enterprise Search Strategy, Provisioning, extensive concepts of Collaboration and Social Networking, and let's not forget...

Provisioning engines for SharePoint 2007

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the technologies used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes.
