Business Insights Webcast: Introduction to Microsoft Office Communications Server "14" (Level 100)

Thursday, October 21, 2010 11:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Technology has brought us a very long way in terms of how we communicate in the business world. Email, telephones, instant messaging, and conference calling make it possible for us to do things today that were unthinkable twenty years ago. But as these technologies have evolved, they have done so independently, in parallel with one another, creating communications silos. In this webcast, we describe how Microsoft Unified Communications brings all forms of communications together through software and services to provide more effective communications. We introduce you to the newest Microsoft productivity solution, Microsoft Office Communications Server "14". See how Communications Server "14" is about connecting people in new ways, anywhere, anytime.

Presenter: David Alexander, Senior Product Manager, Microsoft Corporation

at Microsoft. For more than five years, David has helped launch and grow the Microsoft Unified Communications and Microsoft Online Services businesses. With a primary focus on the small and medium-sized business customer segment, David has helped develop and drive the Microsoft productivity vision on both the worldwide product team and the U.S. subsidiary marketing team.

Childrens Hospital of Aurora

Hospital Virtualizes Servers to cut IT costs by $1.8 million

The Children’s Hospital of Aurora, Colorado, wants to direct as much of its nonprofit budget as possible to helping families rather than buying new servers. After using server virtualization to stem server proliferation, the hospital wanted to further lower data center costs, simplify a complex and expensive software landscape, and improve application availability. It deployed the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system with Hyper-V technology as well as several Microsoft System Center data center solutions. By gaining an all-Microsoft server management infrastructure, The Children’s Hospital expects to trim U.S.$1.8 million from its IT budget in hardware, energy, and software licensing costs. Today, the IT staff is far more efficient—even with fewer people—and can spend more time creating new business solutions and ensuring high application availability.

MSDN Webcast: Integrating Sensor and Location Support (Level 200)

Tuesday, November 09, 2010 10:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

The Windows 7 Sensor and Location platform makes it possible for your applications to adapt to the environment and change the way the applications look or behave. For example, imagine an application that uses a light sensor to detect the difference between indoor and outdoor light, and the application changes the brightness and contrast of its displayed content accordingly. In this webcast, we dive into the software development kit (SDK) and walk through some code to demonstrate how to implement this light sensor scenario. In addition, we show you how to use location to build better applications.

If you have questions or feedback, contact us.

Investec Uses Customised System to Double Revenue Without Increasing Support Staff

4-page Case Study posted: 10/14/2010

Investec Bank (Channel Islands)—a specialist provider of offshore private banking services—wanted to improve its core banking technology and manage its growing intermediary business more effectively. Vega Solutions replaced the bank’s previous banking system with a customised banking solution called Vision Online, based on Microsoft SQL Server and Microsoft BizTalk Server. Investec has doubled its revenue since 2004 without needing any extra back-office staff since the software went live. In the meantime, Vega Solutions has provided further enhancements. This has included integration with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) network using Microsoft BizTalk Accelerator for SWIFT, and online banking giving customers straight-through processing for payments.

4-page Case Study posted: 09/20/2010

Fundtech, a global IT services provider, offers automated payment systems and cash management solutions to more than 1,000 banks and corporations worldwide. The company’s European banking customers need to comply with the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) initiative, which standardizes euro payments and mandates electronic payment processing.

The solution adds SEPA processing to existing payment systems. It also supplies developers with built-in tools to make their work easier and gives customers fast-deployment capabilities. Additionally, the solution provides high availability and helps customers reduce costs.

Magic Quadrant for Horizontal Portals

The field of viable portal vendors has narrowed considerably, dropping from more than 50 vendors in 2003 to fewer than a dozen in 2010. However, the consolidation of traditional portal vendors doesn't necessarily mean the commoditization of the market. In light of pressing business needs to improve the user experience across channels, and amidst the innovations of Web 2.0 and the cloud, making the right portal choice is more important than ever.

Upgrading to Team Foundation Server 2010: Why and How

Monday, November 01, 2010 8:00 AM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

Team Foundation Server 2005 and 2008 brought a whole new perspective on collaborative development to the application lifecycle process for many organizations. Although the tool has made a tremendous impact for source control management, automated builds and automated testing, the adoption of TFS as a repository for managing requirements and test plans has been slower to take off. Project managers and Quality Managers will be excited to get a look at TFS 2010 and learn more about the new features such as test case management, hierarchical work items, improved integration with MS Project, improved TFS administrative tools, and improved reports and dashboards.

Migrating from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation Server 2010: Why and Pre-migrating Planning

Tuesday, November 02, 2010 8:00 AM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

Development teams are increasingly finding themselves needing to do more with less. Project managers, quality assurance, and upper management are expecting more planning, collaboration, and communication from the development team. TFS provides an integrated application lifecycle management tool that allows developers to interact with all roles in the application lifecycle without the need to switch from one tool to another. With TFS developers can understand requirements, version control source code, automate builds, and deployments. Distributed and cross-functional teams make it even more important to have a solid version control tool that provides remote access for global teams. Visual Source Safe users are finding themselves in need of a more robust repository to support their development efforts.

How to use Team Foundation Server to Manage the SharePoint Life Cycle

Thursday, November 11, 2010 12:00 PM Mountain Time (US & Canada)

SharePoint has made tremendous impact in the enterprise for several reasons –affordability, ease of implementation, and rapid application deployment opportunities. For these same reasons SharePoint has introduced risk in the organization because effective development practices are not viewed as necessary or useful for SharePoint deployments. SharePoint is a powerful platform for Rapid Application Development (RAD) and often has an even shorter lifecycle than traditional RAD projects.

Microsoft Media and Entertainment - Digital Content Management Solutions

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 8:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada)

Consumer consumption of digital content has crossed the tipping point. Today over two-thirds of all Netflix subscribers use Netflix’s streaming service. XBOX Live subscribers have access to thousands of hours of video, music and games, and the battle is on for who will dominate the living room for digital media. Today, media and telecommunications companies must bring Digital Content Management to the forefront of their business as a common thread across much of their organizations – production, home entertainment, digital distribution, legal and marketing. Digital Content Management has had to evolve to become more adaptive, more integrated, more social and more efficient which is in direct contrast to many existing legacy systems.

Join Jake Winett, Director of Industry Solutions for a conversation about Digital Content Management solutions from Microsoft. Jake will discuss how these solutions allow Microsoft partners to enable media and telecommunications companies to consume, track, manage, and deliver digital assets such as images, audio, documents, and video, while integrating key features such as business processes, business intelligence, workflow and social networking to help extend DCM as a mission critical LOB application. The session will also include various examples of how partners have adapted the Microsoft DCM methodology to solve customer challenges.

Sahara India Life Insurance

Insurance Company Deploys Integration Solution and Eliminates Paper Movement and Delays in Ad-hoc Document Requests

The Sahara Pariwar’s latest foray in the field of Life Insurance is under Sahara India Life Insurance Company Ltd. (Sahara Life). It has invested in Life Asia, an application for core policy administration. However, the application was restricted in scenarios where ad-hoc duplicate documents (premium statement, duplicate receipt and unit statements) are required by the customer. What Sahara Life needed was a Web based application, which could service these requests. With help form Microsoft, it created an application using ASP.NET, which integrates with Life Asia with other applications using BizTalk® Server 2006. This allows the servicing of ad-hoc document requests from the Life Asia production server.

Postal Company Gains Flexibility and Expands Services with a Service-Oriented Architecture

Österreichische Post AG (Austrian Post) is Austria’s leading provider of postal and logistics services. When the company’s computing technologies began to hinder its efficiency and growth, Austrian Post decided to implement a service-oriented architecture (SOA). Built with the Microsoft Application Platform, the new solution replaces Oracle and MySQL database software but uses other existing components, new applications, and systems from external parties. With its SOA, Austrian Post has reduced the time required to connect to disparate systems from weeks to hours, increased employee productivity, cut IT and operational costs, and realized a return on investment (ROI) in three years.

Connecting Lync to SharePoint

SharePoint 2010 and Lync 2010 offer an extensible platform to build rich applications that deliver unified communications and collaboration. For example, workflow solutions with the ability to click to communicate instantly with others in the approval chain to make a decision, sales portals that launch team sites with new opportunities and invite the account team to an online meeting, line of business applications with document management and the ability to work in real-time with others and the list goes on and on. Experience these products together the way we designed them. The Lync experience makes SharePoint better and more importantly makes all our work more productive and impactful.

Published Intranets in SharePoint Server 2010

A published intranet site is a site that is internal to an organization and uses the publishing features in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 to host content for the entire organization. This is usually the main communications site or portal for the organization. Typically, such a site is not available to external users. The site is usually branded and is not a collaboration mechanism, but rather a place to consolidate information that needs to be widely shared with the whole organization.
