Editorial

Howdy MOSSIGER’s Ben here with this months’ editorial, first let me= say a happy new financial year to all, I hope it finds you all with big healt= hy tax returns.

Personally the new year has found me for the first time experiencing a company merge= r. Part of that merger has included me needing to find a new phone pla= n. With the launch of the 3G network and the release of the iPhone we are becoming more and more connected at all times. This is no longer limited = to just receiving SMS alerts but we also email and IM messages. After some searching I too joined this always connected revolution. Now while I haven’t succumb to the hype of the iPhone, I am enjoying the abilit= y of being hyper connected no matter where I am.

So what does this have to do with MOSSIG you ask?

Well this month we are lucky enough to have Jonathan Spellman from Microsoft speaki= ng to us about Microsoft Unified Communications suite. UC offers not only a = lot of new options to message people but also new ways to access all aspects = of your business while on the road.

So join us this month and make sure you stay afterwards to have a poke and play with some of the Unified Communications enabled devices.

Cheers,
Ben Walters

Office and SharePoint in the News

It’s been an interesting week for SharePoint featuring two global launches and something called an Infrastructure update (some have dubbed it Service Pa= ck 2, but that is yet to come!)

SharePoint Infrastructure update

Announced prominently on Technet, the new Team blog for IT Pros = (To the SharePoint) dealing with SharePoint and obviously the always buzzing SharePoint Team blog Microsoft has made sure we can’t miss this all important update. Make sure you read all releva= nt information as this update contains some important features and fixes!

ISPA Launch

This week also marked the launch of a brand new global community organization aimed at facilitating the ever expanding community of SharePoint users and professionals through website= s, blogs and user groups.

“The International SharePoint Professionals Association (“ISPA”) is the first independent, community-run, not-for-profit organization designed specifically for SharePoint Professionals. ISPA is a professional association dedicated to the promotion and global adoption of Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. The Association provides supp= ort and guidance to the community by establishing connections between SharePoint professionals and groups, resources, education and information.”

SharePoint Magazine

Coinciding with the ISPA l= aunch a new on-line magazine devoted to SharePoint<= /span> has seen it’s first= public appearance. It looks like this will be a great resource for SharePoint Professionals, so we encourage everybody to go and check it out.
