Perth SharePoint Saturday 2011

So it's getting near that time of year when SharePoint Saturday pays a trip to sleepy old Perth. Sezai Komur and Brian Farnhill are running the event this year, which will take place on the 9th of April.

The first round of speakers has already been announced. If you peruse the list carefully enough you'll notice that I'll be speaking again this year. My talk is entitled "The many faces of Workflow: How does SharePoint fit into a larger BPM solution?". Here's the session description I submitted:

Everyone knows that SharePoint’s workflow functionality can approve documents and collect signatures, but what role can it play in larger multi-system business processes? We’ll explore the different types of workflow typically found in an enterprise, where SharePoint fits, and how it can interact with other systems in the Microsoft stack to deliver a full BPM solution.

I may even break my twitter-induced blog-drought and post a write-up on the topic after the talk. Either that or I'll just tweet lots about it.

More details on the event, along with registration information, can be found on the Perth SharePoint Saturday site.
