Second Session: Would social computing concepts and ideas work inside your business?  Is it possible to use SharePoint as part of living the enterprise social computing dream?  Good question..........  let’s find out together

Presented by: Brendon Ford - CTO - Provoke Solutions

Brendon’s introduction to the IT industry started with a “solid grounding” in Microsoft Access 2, since then he has moved onto bigger and brighter things namely forming Provoke Solutions and building an extremely talented  SharePoint practice at Provoke. At Provoke Brendon has a split focus one half is the Provokes SharePoint practice team and the second half is as Provokes CTO.  Brendon enjoys nothing more than a good chat around a fully powdered up demo laptop running more VPC’s that is sensible
