Thursday, I was informed that my session for "SharePoint in the Cloud – Migrating and Operating in a Hosted Environment" will be on the agenda for SharePoint Saturday – D.C. on December 5th in Reston, VA. I am really excited about the opportunity to present and meet other SharePoint professionals in the D.C.-area. The last event in May was very well attended and I learned a bunch about some of the concerns of the public sector attendees.
In my session, I am going to focus on the broad strokes about what a Service-based model looks like from a customer perspective and address the pros and cons of the entire process. Also, I am going to review how a cloud strategy impacts your organization from a customization and support angle.
I have a lot to do over the next few weeks (WSS Certification, presentation preparation, Thanksgiving) but I am looking to the opportunity to share and learn at SharePoint Saturday DC! I will post the presentation to "The SharePoint Blog" after I have presented.
To learn more about the event, visit the SharePoint Saturday DC site, or if you are on Twitter search by #spsdc.
