BIWUG on authenticating SharePoint apps and supporting SharePoint in the Cloud

On the 20th of May BIWUG is organizing the final session before summer holidays – don’t forget to register for BIWUG2005 because there are some great sessions planned.

Authenticating client-side applications in cross-domains & hybrid environments (Speaker: Stephane Eyskens, SharePoint Technical Architect - http://www.silver-it.com/ )

SharePoint 2013 comes with many new challenges among which the rising of client side technologies. In this session, I will not talk about Knockout, AngularJS whose everybody is talking about, I'm rather going to talk about diffent techniques to tackle client side related challenges, particularly regarding cross-domain & authentication by leveraging HTML5, CORS, infrastructure workarounds and SharePoint built-in APIs. I'll be talking about two different real world implementations (1 project 100% on-prem and 1 onprem+azure) and two different ways of solving these issues. After this session, developers should have a better understanding of the tools & techniques available to handle those complex problems.

Supporting SharePoint in the Cloud: insights, figures, challenges,… (Speaker: Pascal Benois, EMEA Technical Support Lead Office 365 at Microsoft)

What does it take to support Office 365 for 2.500.000 customers in EMEA ? What are the biggest challenges, most common issues, …?  With the success of O365, the IT Pro and Dev landscapes are evolving and raising new challenges. One thing is for sure, there will be no way back. During this session, I will expose what the current situation is and what it is expected to be in the near future, how Microsoft address the partners and “broad commercial” ecosystems in terms of support and delivery. Also expect some insights about upcoming features and roadmap.

Event Future of Business is Sharing

On  May 16th RealDolmen and Kluwer are organizing the “Future of Business is Sharing” event with a number of interesting sessions.

Kennis is macht, kennis delen is machtiger. Samenwerken bepaalt het succes van mensen en bedrijven. Het stelt hen in staat die extra stap vooruit te zetten die het verschil kan maken. In ons persoonlijk leven doen we niets anders: denk aan het succes van YouTube, Naai- en Repair Cafés waarop informatie wordt gedeeld en tips & tricks worden uitgewisseld.

Maar vertaalt dit zich ook in onze professionele wereld? Het lijkt alsof bedrijven achterblijven. Medewerkers zitten vaak vast in de kokers van hun jobgrenzen, informatie in hoofden van individuen. Disciplines staan al te vaak naast elkaar en mensen gevangen in één specifieke rol.

Tijdens dit event slaan we met een aantal betrokken partijen de handen in elkaar. We staan met u stil bij het belang van kennis delen en samenwerken over domein- en  bedrijfsgrenzen heen. 

  • Samen voor ons eigen (Speaker: Dirk Draulans) - De transformatie was een sluipend proces, waarbij samenwerking over de groepsgrenzen heen getild werd. Vanuit een evolutionair perspectief is onze aanleg tot samenwerking echter niet vanzelfsprekend en lijkt het regelrecht in te gaan tegen de natuurlijke selectietheorie van Charles Darwin…
  • Social learning: voorbij de hype (Speaker: Isabel De Clercq) - Over “the rise and fall” van sociale netwerken in organisaties. Over de onzin maar vooral de zin van social learning. Over het stimuleren van krachtige kennisdeling in uw organisatie. Dit is een weg-van-de-hype-sessie: verwacht u aan eerlijke verhalen en bruikbare tips & tricks. 
  • imec Share: Innovate, collaborate and excel (Speakers: Francis Bruynseels & Joris Poelmans) -  Imec verricht onderzoek dat tot de wereldtop behoort in het domein van nano-elektronica. Tijdens deze sessie staan we stil bij de visie van imec rond samenwerking - zowel binnen de organisatie als met externe partners wereldwijd -, de uitdagingen en de transitie die de organisatie doormaakt.
    Een concreet praktijkverhaal waarin visie, change en technologie aan bod komen.
  • Paradigm shift: niet meer en vooral niets minder (Speaker: Hugo Der Kinderen) -Samenwerken over alle grenzen heen en kennisdelen. Het klinkt als muziek in de oren. Maar zal het ook lukken in uw organisatie? Intense kennisdeling lukt enkel in bepaalde organisatiemodellen. Hoe ga je van een werkplek waar 'geld in ruil voor arbeid' centraal staat, naar een plek waar 'ontwikkeling, kennisdeling en synergie' overheersen.
