Showcasing IW Platform at WPC
Next week, Girish Raja and I will be attending WPC in Washington, DC (https://digitalwpc.com/). The Worldwide Partner Conference is a 5-day conference that provides you with an opportunity to learn more about many of the technology roadmaps, best practices and business/technology opportunities within the roadmaps.
With the latter in mind, we’ll be presenting a mini-track comprising two breakout sessions. These sessions will focus on how you can exploit the IW Platform (i.e. SharePoint, Office, CRM, and UC) for business application/solution development. The two sessions are scheduled for Tuesday, July 13th, from 3:30-4:30pm and then in the same room from 5:00-6:00pm.
About the Sessions
The first of the two sessions will discuss and showcase the business opportunities around the IW platform and will also showcase a set of partners who are betting their businesses on technologies such as SharePoint, Office, CRM, and UC. Specifically, Girish and I will be joined by the following partners:
- Mike Fitzmaurice from Nintex
- John Pollard from identityMine
- Bill Nagle from K2
- Jon Rauschenberger from Clarity Consulting
- Mike Snyder from Sonoma Partners
The second of the two sessions will discuss how you can develop on the IW platform—taking you one level deeper within the opportunities. Specifically, we’ll cover how you can develop solutions for SharePoint, Office, CRM, and then talk more about the cloud (e.g. integration of SharePoint and Azure).
Session Information
Specific information about the sessions are as follows:
Session 1: Business Software Mini-Track: The Business Application Opportunity
Business Applications leverage platform technologies such as Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and Unified Communications to drive productivity and business forward.

As our customers continue to face new ways of doing business, an explosion of data available to them, and new means of communicating and collaborating, the opportunity to build business applications that drive and manage business continues to grow. Come hear about what's new in with business applications and how you can tap into what's going on in the market to take your business to the next level.
