| IN THE COMMUNITY | ||
In a chat this week with Eric Darbe of HiSoftware, he described what he called “the yin and yang” of SharePoint: Organizations want to see wide internal adoption, but there’s a hesitation to give this kind of wide access because of security concerns. “Security can seem contrary to collaboration,” he said. “It’s the confidence gap that we as a community need to address.” SharePoint, he said, gets a bit of a bad rap when it comes to security. “We were at a security conference, and someone came up to me and said, ‘SharePoint? That’s the bane of the privacy officer’s existence.’ That’s reality turned on its head, and we need to work to change this perception, by adding technology and telling the story.” You can read more of my interview with Eric at SPTechWeb. * * * In a discussion in last week’s newsletter with AvePoint’s Jeremy Thake, I wrote: SharePoint out of the box does not provide a mechanism for e-discovery, and can only “hold” individual documents for a short time. “If you want everything someone modified and stored, it doesn’t scale well,” Jeremy said. Jeremy wrote back with the following comment: I’d just like to clarify one of the points made in the article: Essentially you can put a legal hold on a document for as long as you like, albeit only on each individual document out of the box. When discussing "short time", it’s really geared toward the storage of the audit logs, as they are stored in the content database, which obviously affects growth and subsequently performance. There is, in fact, a supported limit of 60 million items in the content database, which you would definitely reach in a large organization within a seven-year period if you capture all audit actions. By default, SharePoint 2010 trims these after 30 days, which means if you need to store the logs for seven years in order to abide by compliance regulations, you’ll need to use a third-party product (such as AvePoint’s DocAve Auditor). Thanks for clearing that up, Jeremy. — David | ||

| Azaleos expands reach of managed SharePoint private clouds | ||
Azaleos, a global managed messaging, collaboration and unified communications services company, today announced two new services designed for enterprises that want a new Microsoft SharePoint 2010 system that deploys quickly and does not require local IT management. Azaleos SharePoint Starter Edition and Azaleos SharePoint Core Edition provide drop-and-go managed SharePoint outsourcing alternatives to the existing Azaleos SharePoint Premier Edition. According to Forrester’s July 2011 Global SharePoint Usage Online Survey, 57% of organizations surveyed have already deployed SharePoint 2010. Yet in the same survey, 41% responded that deployment took longer than expected. Azaleos SharePoint Starter Edition enables smaller enterprises and departments within large enterprises to get a simple managed SharePoint system up and running fast. For larger enterprises adopting the powerful collaboration system for the first time, but uncertain of their needs, SharePoint Core Edition provides more robust management services with a fixed set of functionality. | ||

GULP! The Linker just learned he’ll have to speak in front of a packed house at SPTechCon SF in a couple weeks. While that’s a good problem to have, it is a problem nonetheless. You see, The Linker is quite a shy guy, so the prospect of this talk already has his palms sweating and his knees buckling. Maybe he’ll just turn it over to the editor of this newsletter (Dave Rubinstein, the conference chairman), and start the SharePint about six hours early! Anyway, here’s this week’s collection of links, which will not cause you great anxiety. Hope to see you in SF in two weeks! SharePoint adoption: Content and collaboration are just the start. Not-so-random YouTube entry: Great speech! | ||

To enable SharePoint for use by your company's executive staff, boards of directors, and human resources departments, you and your fellow SharePoint administrators must go beyond common SharePoint security mechanisms such as role-based access control and security for the network session. As you'll learn about in this short white paper, your company needs to make sure that privileged IT administrators cannot mistakenly or maliciously access sensitive content. However, new security controls must not hamper the end users' productivity. How can you create security controls that lock IT professionals out of sensitive data while maintaining the end-user ease of use that SharePoint is famous for? | ||

| How to get the most from SPTechCon | ||
The SharePoint community is known to be the most exciting and vibrant in the Microsoft space, with grassroots conferences seemingly weekly and a number of major conferences throughout the calendar year. BZ Media, the producer of SPTechCon, produces two of those major conferences annually, the first of which is coming up later this month. This year’s SPTechCon San Francisco is in two short weeks, taking place from February 26-29 and features 18 Microsoft MVPs and many other experts who are currently gearing up to share their knowledge with readers just like you! Having outgrown the previous conference site, the event has moved to the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and is guaranteed to be four days of non-stop-SharePoint. If you have never attended a SharePoint conference, you need to. These are great opportunities to speak with the best and brightest in the SharePoint community, including authors, speakers and vendors in the industry. You can pick up some pretty cool swag too, including all the pens you can possibly use and potentially some flying monkeys. For those already registered, here are some tips to maximize your conference experience. Eric is the EVP of Systems Integration for Concatenate, a software firm focused on maximizing SharePoint through product innovation and systems integration based in Toronto. | ||
