	4:45pm	OpenText	Information Governance: How can I achieve this in a world of Microsoft SharePoint and SAP? And all my other systems.. To most the word governance is synonymous with compliance, which is then in turn synonymous with records management. After that the focus becomes very specific. When people try to understand how they should approach governance is to approach it as a strategy and make sure that strategy involves and intertwines three things: people, process and technology. Sounds simple in theory, not as easy in practice. What about external Financial Solutions like SAP? What about my file systems and legacy applications? What do I do if I work in a highly regulated industry like Public Sector, Manufacturing and Resources or Financial Services? Join Owen Brandt, Strategic Alliance Director & Microsoft Lead, OpenText APJ, as he discusses some real world examples and articulates what to consider when the world of SAP looms into view to an Information Manager….	Owen Brandt, Strategic Alliance Director & Microsoft Lead, APJ - OpenText

DAY TWO	TIME	Company
DAY TWO	10:30am	Attini	Let us at Attini show you how we socialise your intranet and solve problems like, “Information is hard to find, it’s locked away in team sites, lists and libraries that are spread all over the place” or “There is too much information, I’m overloaded. I just want to see the best stuff, and that which is relevant to me” or “SharePoint replaced lots of our ‘Data Islands’, but Site Collections are still islands, they’re just a little closer together.”
	11:00am	K2	Introduction to K2 Forms- Workflow and BPM Solutions, faster than ever before.

	11:45am	PowerMark Solutions	Do you know where content in your organization is created, shared and stored? Is regulated information secure and only available to appropriate individuals? HiSoftware’s Policy Sheriff SP and Security Sheriff SP audit SharePoint and Office content for compliance requirements such as privacy, information security, accessibility, site quality and brand integrity. They provide SharePoint a central facility to manage and monitor policy across your farm. Organisations can configure their own unique privacy and security policies, along with the hundreds of checkpoints built into HiSoftware’s rules engine. As scans identify areas of risk or policy violation, items are classified via the addition of metadata. Business rules optionally restrict access to the item, encrypt it, track the document’s chain of custody, and prevent it from leaving SharePoint.	Presenter – Michael McAuley, VP R&D Mike McAuley possesses more than 25 years’ experience designing and building successful products for technology companies. As Vice President, Research & Development, he is responsible for defining and directing HiSoftware’s product strategy, as well as managing its global development efforts.

	12:15pm	Myriad Technologies	DataFacet provides extended taxonomy management and automatic keyword tagging for SharePoint and other ECM, based on one or more taxonomies. Managed Metadata is the most important feature you should know about if you have a SharePoint 2010 document or enterprise content management project. It underpins consistent classification, and effective navigation and search. Achieving effective navigation and search relies on users consistently applying those tags – and consistency is not something easy to achieve when the process is manual. Further, if you are doing mass migrations of content into SharePoint you want that content available ASAP. Backing DataFacet is the world’s richest set of taxonomies – over 500, covering sectors and functions such as utilities, oil & gas, mining, education, records management, skills, legal etc.	Presenter Profile – James Milne and Simon Rawson James Milne is a Principal SharePoint Consultant (MCTS, MCSE, MCT, MVP) with over 16 years of direct IT experience.
