The Michael Sampson Company recently announced “The SharePoint for Collaboration: Business Impact Awards 2009 program”. As you may recall, Michael was the guest speaker at our last webinar titled “7 Ways To Get More From Your SharePoint Deployment Now”. Michael is also the author of “Seamless Teamwork: Using Microsoft SharePoint Technologies to Collaborate, Innovate, and Drive Business in New Ways” (Microsoft Press, 2009), a book that helps organizations envision how to support collaboration with SharePoint.
These are the first awards I’ve seen that are 100% dedicated to the use of SharePoint. There are 7 award categories:
- Project Team Collaboration … The use of SharePoint to support team project activities. This is likely to include the tracking of milestones, deliverables and emerging information over time, aligned with a specific business project.
- Document Collaboration … The use of SharePoint in business activities to support the joint creation of large and complex documents. This is likely to include people working across departmental or organizational boundaries, on large and complex documents such as request for proposals.
- Structured Data Collaboration … The use of SharePoint to help groups collaborate on structured data through lists. For example, this could be about running the organization’s budgeting process through SharePoint.
- Process Collaboration … The use of SharePoint for business process enablement, either directly through workflow services, or indirectly as a way of handling exceptions in business processes.
- Product Design and Service Creation Collaboration … The use of SharePoint to support the design of new products or the creation of new services.
- Enterprise Social Networking … The use of SharePoint to support the discovery and cultivation of connections between people in the organization, the identification of expertise, and the formation and support of communities of interest and practice.
- Extended-Enterprise Collaboration … The use of SharePoint to support collaboration with partners, suppliers and customers.
There’s more information about the awards here. We’d love to see some Colligo customers enter!
