Teaching SharePoint to the Next Generation Employees Using Mashups
It amazes me to say that I have been working with Microsoft SharePoint for more than two decades. Time has passed, and a new generation of information workers is beginning to fill our ranks. SharePoint has become a mainstay for companies due to its popularity and the world-changing situations over the years. Most companies use barely 50% of SharePoint’s capabilities. New employees are often directed to SharePoint without any training or understanding of what is possible. This session aims to encourage the pursuit of using more features that SharePoint has to offer and to demonstrate what is possible. This is a mid-tier session designed to inspire attendees to explore the potential of SharePoint beyond file management and collaboration.
Speaker
David Pileggi
David was initially introduced to SharePoint technology, by accepting a role through a recruiter to assist a large healthcare organization in 2005. Training for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 at the time was trial and error. David found the technology intriguing and started to immerse himself, finding what were the possibilities the software had to offer. David presented the potentials to the senior leadership of the healthcare organization receiving enthusiastic feedback encouraging him to join the SharePoint community.
David's career continued to grow as he became a consultant with various companies for a decade. During this time, he joined the SharePoint Speaking circuit in 2009 and continues to speak up to the present. Working with numerous businesses including Fortune 500 companies, David increased his knowledge of how to use SharePoint and SharePoint Online effectively. David now guides a large retail company to use all aspects of M365 to improve collaboration to new heights. He has just become a Microsoft MVP.
