​Cem Çoban

​15:50-16:40
Track 1

​300 ​Web search technology is barely 20 years old, yet it has profoundly changed how we behave and get things done at work, at home, and increasingly while on the go. It empowers people and organizations in every corner of the world. A world without search technology has become unimaginable that we take it for granted and underestimate its value. Until now, attempts to indicate the worth of search technologies have relied on statistics such as the trillions of online searches made annually worldwide, the billions of dollars advertisers pay to appear on search pages, or the revenue earned by those that provide search capabilities and search marketing services. But these measures fail to fully capture the constant creation of economic value that the click of a search button enables through, for example, improved productivity, more transparency in the marketplace, the discovery of new information, and the ability to link up with the right people and companies. Such benefits are usually attributed to the Internet. But search technologies are a vital cornerstone of business applications. Let’s explore together what is the value of search to business capabilities of a company. One click to search can save or create sometimes millions of dollars.

​Rapid Development of Data-Centric Applications in SharePoint ​Peter Mendelsohn
Principal System Consultant
Quest Software GmbH
​11:50-12:40
Track 3
​200 ​SharePoint is increasingly becoming a repository of business relevant data beyond simple document management and collaborative sites, and even more SharePoint applications are being used to manage all this information.Many of these applications are not really complex - simple but effective SharePoint applications can be built by putting data in different lists in relation to other data (such as customer data, product lists, employees, etc).
 
The native SharePoint user interface however makes this rather hard to do, even worse, in many cases it is not possible at all. Standard application development (like coding in Visual Studio) is slow and tedious, and experienced developers are scarce. With 3rd party tools, such as the Quest Web Parts for SharePoint, it is possible to quickly and easily build such data-centric applications. This way, end-user requirements can be implemented with little effort and power users can make changes in the application fast, if requirements change. This helps making better and more productive use of SharePoint, as do the other SharePoint solutions from Quest Software.
