SharePoint 2013 has been out for a little over a month now, and during that time I’ve had the chance to play with it in several environments and get a feel for how it performs.  The blog is a follow-on to my previous blog post regarding SharePoint and Virtual Machine (VM) Performance.  In that post, […]

As discussed in the post earlier, SharePoint 2013 allows you to write Apps which can extend the functionalities your SharePoint website provides. Primarily an App can be divided into two categories depending upon where its components reside: SharePoint hosted App – Major pieces of an App are on SharePoint server with business logic and presentational […]

For many, the mobile landscape is fast becoming the ONLY landscape to do business in. As products and services circle the globe, we are leaving our offices for the road “more” traveled. Especially in a sales-oriented business environment, we find that the end users of many of the SharePoint solutions we create for our clients […]

SharePoint 2013 (or “Wave 15” as we unabashed Microsoft fanboys have been calling it) has been in public beta for a little over two weeks now, and we’re starting to see some more discussion of new features and functions around the web.  Our own Microsoft blog is no exception. A number of our customers have […]

I was flying back from Dallas the other day and when we landed there was quite a bit of discussion in the row in front of me.  The gentleman in the aisle seat had a Nokia Lumia 900 and his seatmates wanted to see it and hear about it.  I smiled to myself as this […]

So you’re using NewsGator Social Sites on your SharePoint intranet and you want to stay connected when you’re on the go?  Check out my new video blog on using the iPad app for NewsGator Social Sites.  As NewsGator’s inaugural Partner of the Year (2011), we just might know a little something about this. Oh, and […]

I have worked with many developers and designers on both front-end websites and back-end applications.
