There is a lot of excitement going around as we head towards SharePoint Conference 2009 in Las Vegas. It’s at this event that the public will get a chance to see what the next version of SharePoint will look like. That’s all well and good, but really, where is SharePoint headed, what’s the future vision for this platform?

In this release of Excel we spent dedicated research and development resources on improving performance. In addition to the usual optimizations and tuning efforts we make post “code complete”, we spent time during the development milestones researching, designing, and implementing performance features beyond algorithmic tuning. For this release, these are the areas where we focused our performance improvement efforts:

"Geneva" and Sun OpenSSO
Interoperability between applications in heterogeneous technology environments is essential to successful collaboration between organizations today. Sun and Microsoft are taking interoperability to a new level by utilizing the SAML federation standard in both the Sun OpenSSO Enterprise federation solution and the forthcoming Microsoft “Geneva” Server federation solution.
By standardizing on SAML for federation, Sun and Microsoft enable organizations to deliver collaborative services with ease.
"Geneva" and Novell Access Manager
Despite remarkable gains in IT capabilities and collaboration, organizations continue to struggle with administrative complexity, workforce productivity, and data security. Many organizations support a large number of users—including employees, customers, partners, and suppliers—who seek access to a wide variety of applications and services. This can be particularly challenging in mixed-technology and multiple-domain environments where users are spread across technical and business boundaries.
Microsoft and Novell have come together to solve these challenges and boost cross-organizational collaboration. The two companies are building the interoperability bridges that enable customers to reduce complexity, enhance security, and decrease costs. This paper explains the need for standards-based identity federation, and the current and forthcoming solutions that improve the interoperability of mixed-technology directory environments.
Microsoft and CA
Access management solutions that introduce a middleware “layer of security abstraction” into the communication between applications, user repositories and authentication technologies enable organizations to improve administrative efficiency, better secure data and applications, and improve outreach to business partners and customers. This white paper reviews how solutions from CA (CA SiteMinder, CA Federation Manager) and Microsoft (Active Directory Federation Services (formerly code named “Geneva”)) provide this middleware software layer, while supporting standards-based communication protocols that enable cross-technology access management and identity federation scenarios. Specific interoperability-oriented use cases are discussed in detail.

SharePoint 2010 (news, site) is getting a lot of attention, especially since the sneak peeks came out from Microsoft. And it will get even more attention the closer it gets to the SharePoint Conference in mid October.
What are they key themes with SharePoint 2010 that consultants and customers alike are seeing with the new version of SharePoint and what migration plans are being considered?

Powerpoint 2010 : attention les yeux !
Published 26 August 09 09:23 AM
Comme vous avez surement pu le constater si vous avez la chance d'’être parmi les heureux testeurs de la version Tech Preview d’Office 2010, l’une des applications qui a le plus évolué dans la suite Office 2010 est très clairement PowerPoint.
Le moteur graphique de PowerPoint 2010 a été complètement ré-écrit pour tirer partie de DirectX et tout le rendu est réalisé par la couche 3D de votre carte graphique.
Si on devait résumer les améliorations de Powerpoint en 5 points, voici ce que cela donnerait :
- Nouveau moteur de rendu graphique tirant partie des accélérations matérielles de votre configuration PC
- Nouveaux effets de transitions et nouvelle interface utilisateur
- Mise à jour des effets d’animation et une nouvelle interface dédiée à ceux-ci (calée sur une ligne temporelle)
- Nouvelle fonctionnalité de copier / coller des propriétés d’animation (vous permettant d’appliquer très rapidement ces effets d’objet à objet)
- La synchronisation des animations avec les objets multimédia permet maintenant de créer de véritables chorégraphies.
Et comme une démonstration vaut mieux qu’un long discours, voici une vidéo qui montre par l’exemple ce que le rendu d’un diaporama dans PowerPoint 2010…
Suite des aventures de l’ex-Groove (maintenant SharePoint Workspace) par notre ami Patrick Guimonet.
Ici, nous allons voir le premier cas de figure, le plus simple : le partage de fichiers via un répertoire qui va se synchroniser tout seul entre l’ordinateur de départ et celui qui sera invité. Nous allons voir avec quelle simplicité SharePoint Workspace permet de mettre tout cela en place…
ah ! j’oubliais ! les transferts se font en mode Peer-to-Peer, et crypté… donc tout cela et ultra sécurisé, afin de garantir une confidentialité maximale… Personne d’autre que la personne que vous avez invité ne peut intercepter vos fichiers.
