Sydney .NET User Group: "Great Intranets of the Modern Age" – James Robertson

Intranets have been around for a long time now, but SharePoint has brought new functionality and capability into organisations that promises to transform these sites.

But what direction should we be heading, and what makes a truly great intranet? This presentation, by the world's leading intranet expert, will provide a practical and inspirational view of the role that intranets can (and should) play.

Many real-world screenshots of intranets will be shared, focusing on SharePoint sites and solutions. These include winners from the global Intranet Innovation Awards.
