Brad Smith, Black Blade's CEO and SharePoint MVP is delivering his multi-part session on Compliance and Governance in a Regulated Industry at the London SharePoint Evolution Conference. Read past the break for the session abstracts, and check out the video of Brad's previous governance session on the Black Blade Associates blog.
I'll been selected to speak my mind at SharePoint Saturday, Boston, April 27. I'm presenting my new session:
Do you feel that SharePoint document management is missing something? It is. It's missing documents. Sure, it manages files well enough, but are files and documents the same thing? This class focuses on the relationships and differences between files and documents, and the effects they have on SharePoint's document-management capabilities. We will look at what we should expect from a true document-management system, and examine some strategies for converting SharePoint from just a file-management system to a document-management system.
You will gain concrete insights into why their SharePoint implementations are not fulfilling their document-management needs, and what requirements you should consider when embarking on or enhancing a SharePoint document-management implementation. You will be able to express to upper management what you need from their document management system and why. Experience working with non-trivial documents, especially in scenarios where a team must contribute to the same document, is helpful.

Looks like Samsung is getting really good at copying Apple’s phones; Samsung even copied some lock screen exploits. BGR reports that through a combination of dialing non-existing emergency numbers and some fast fingers, a hacker can completely disable the lock screen on a locked Samsung Galaxy phone.

If you let your users bring their own devices, and store company data like email, you should know about Apple’s latest iOS security vulnerability. BGR reports that Apple’s latest iOS update 6.1.3 released on Tuesday contains a security bug that allows the passcode security on an iPhone to be bypassed, granting unauthorized access to the address book and photos stored on the device. Ironically the 6.1.3 update was released in part to fix a similar, pin-bypassing security issue. Check out the source link to see a video demonstration of the vulnerability and to read the full report.
