I'll talk about the SharePoint 2009 conference in a sec, but a few have been asking where I been the last couple months? Well, I've been grinding on a huge solution implementation for a gigantic customer that unfortunately must remain nameless. It will be the largest SharePoint based document imaging system that I've had the pleasure to work on. Think 100 to 200 MILLION documents in SharePoint! Our CERT environment alredy has 15 million. Cool stuff! So that's where I've been. Where am I going? Well...
LAS VEGAS BABY!
The time is nearly here for the SharePoint 2010 feature set to be unveiled to the world. Folks, there is a lot to be excited about here. There are some clutch new features that absolutely crush the rediculous FUD out there that try to play SharePoint as an limited ECM / Document Imaging repository.
<ShamelessPlug>
So, on that note, I'll mention that I'm co-presenting a session called "ECM on SharePoint 2010 - Features that Rock!". Ok, the title could have been a little more creative, I'll admit! But the content is solid. I'll be touching on a few key SP2010 features that allow us to to handle virtually ANY size structured Imaging Repository right in SharePoint. We've really never hit a document limit that we couldn't architect around with enough gear (and storage) in MOSS. But Microsoft really hits it out of the park with SP2010 and I can't wait to tell you about it!
For those of you about to head out to Vegas, come see Chris Caplinger and myself at 4:30pm on Monday in the South Pacific C room.
Then on Tuesday night, KnowledgeLake and our Fujitsu friends are hosting a sweet beach party from 7pm to 11pm with a live concert from Huey Lewis and the News! Probably even more important is the OPEN BAR!
Also, come stop by the KL booth if you're remotely interested in Document Imaging. KL will be unveiling some sweet new tech that will absolutely AMAZE! Don't forget to bring your KL insert sheet from your swag bag! You've got a shot at a whole lot of free $$$ to go blow at the poker table!

Sorry about that whole plug thing. I'm just jazzed about this conference and I wanted to let you know where we're going to be! Needless to say, if you're not among the lucky 7,000 or so folks at this sold out conference, then dang... sorry about that! If it makes you feel any better, I'll be starting a new series of blog posts based on my SPC2009 presentation on ECM for SP2010. I'm going to show you how SharePoint 2010 can be architected to scale efficiently from tens of thousands of docs to hundreds of of millions!
Stay tuned!!!
