A couple of weeks ago we sponsored the Microsoft Global High Tech Summit in San Jose, it was a great event, and we were very excited with the discussions, especially given the economic outlook.  We participated in a couple of sessions, including the keynote, what was interesting was the alignment of our governance kit, with the needs of the clients we spoke to.  Here’s some scenario’s for High Tech which we address (and in many cases, already have addressed) with the Governance Kit

Partnerships across company boundary’s.   – the current economy’s creating a more collaborative ecosystem, where past competitors are becoming partners, to deliver products to the market.    This is especially with design teams, who are working with other companies on R&D and product development.   Using the SharePoint Governance Kit we have created,  our clients are able to define extranet collaboration farms, and seamlessly,  based on the collaboration request their site’s provisioned in the location defined by the governance policy.

Internal Company Collaboration – The ability to take an item that’s been worked on, and put it into a workspace, where versioning and locking exists, especially across geography’s, as most teams are virtual these days.   What’s great about this collaboration is the ability to add functions such as Calendar, Tasks, and social networking aspects like forums and blogs.

Corporate Storage – Where we enforce that all company information is saved to the network and categorized accordingly J

There’s a few more, I will update this posting when In have some time – Happy Collaborating
