It’s all about Groove and SharePoint Workspace

Microsoft SharePoint Conference take place this week at Las Vegas. 
I published a summary of information discussed during this event and related to Groove / SharePoint Workspace on the French Speaking Groove Community blog.

I wrote with my friend and colleague, Jean-Michel, an article (in french) focused on Collaborative IS. Published on IT-Expert Online magazine, this article provide readers with an analysis about complementarity of centralized and decentralized architectures. This analysis is illustrated by Microsoft collaborative solutions.

Microsoft France and Hommes & Process released today a white paper (in french) dedicated to crisis management and remote work. More than a new paper focused on swine flu, this document list challenges and constraints that impact enterprises, when a new crisis appear.

Remote work is presented as a part of a global answer. Several solutions are then exposed, taking into consideration existing IS, business-specific constraints… On a technology point of view, several products are mentionned: Groove, Online Services, OCS, IAG, Live Meeting, etc…

To note that this White Paper was released today during an event focused on Crisis Management at Paris.

The french version of this white paper can be downloaded here.
