New! Making Access Services Work For Business
60 Minute Demo & Keynote
Microsoft SharePoint 2010 introduced a great new feature called Access Services. It’s not “access as usual” instead it empowers knowledge worker to make data driven solutions in collaboration with IT instead of at odds with IT. IT doesn’t have resource to handle all requests, and the business cannot stop and wait. Because Access Services makes it easy to build applications fast business users can take control of their solutions with strategic advice from IT. If you build a winning application that becomes a critical piece of the business, thats when IT can begin a full development cycle to convert the application to SQL. Now applications can be built with all lifetimes from one month for the “quick capture” of data to the more expensive applications that live in perpetuity.
This presentation covers some of the features which makes this rapid development possible.
