T5. Evaluating the SharePoint Ecosystem
Microsoft SharePoint boasts a large and quite diverse "ecosystem" of consultants, integrators, and add-on software vendors. For customers, though, this landscape can be very confusing. Who are the key players? what sort of supplementary tools do you need? What are the pros and cons of going outside Redmond for key services? How does SP 2010 change all this? Tony Byrne from SharePoint Watch (a service of the Real Story Group) will try to answer all your questions.
Speaker: Tony Byrne, Founder, Real Story Group (formerly CMS Watch)

T9. Web Site Search – the Next Generation
The quality of user interaction experiences on major web sites has been changing dramatically, with increasing use of video and other rich media, with more intelligent and dynamic navigation schemes, with richer personalization, and with more accurate and suggestive site search functionality. In this session, you will hear from leading practitioners about how they are engineering the next generation of site search platforms, with applications from intranets to B2B portals to the largest e-commerce sites.
Moderator: Hadley Reynolds, Research Director, Search & Digital Marketplace Technologies, IDC
T10. Applications of Search in SharePoint
Microsoft’s SharePoint software is rapidly becoming a core platform in the enterprise IT infrastructure of many organizations. Managing the design, execution, quality, and range of search implementations in and around SharePoint has become a key priority for both IT and line-of-business managers. In this session, you will hear from thought leaders and leading practitioners about how they are making SharePoint information accessible to employee groups through innovative applications of search technologies.
Moderator: Hadley Reynolds, Research Director, Search & Digital Marketplace Technologies, IDC
T11. Design for Mobile Search – Interaction Models for Smart Devices
