So Tech-Ed Africa 2009 has been announced.
I have the priviledge on taking 3 sessions and I hope to see you all at these sessions.
1. FAST ESP : The Architecture of Extreme Search
Microsoft has three Enterprise Search Solutions to fit various business needs. This session explores why FAST ESP, the high-end solution, would be chosen and how the system is designed and deployed.
2. Automate Business Processes Using InfoPath Forms with Integrated SharePoint Designer Workflows… All without Coding!
Forms and Workflows are essential to business processes. Companies usually rely on programmers to create the forms and workflows using code. Not any more! If you have access to Microsoft Office InfoPath and Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer, you can create powerful data driven form solutions on your SharePoint sites. InfoPath gives you the ability to pull data from databases and lists, and create forms with data validation and conditional formatting. SharePoint Designer workflows let you then design powerful multi-step workflows centered around the form collected data. In this presentation, see how to design a robust form using InfoPath and then design a workflow using SharePoint Designer to route this form appropriately.
