X Design Pattern for Web Sites Where Contributors and Consumers Cross Boundaries (Level 200)

Presented by: CorusWorks

Event Abstract: Historically, Internet sites were built for external users to consume passive content. Now, there is an added ability for internal contributors to provide managed content. In this webcast, we present customer case studies of Internet sites, extranets, and communities, and we demonstrate how the X design pattern provides the ability for internal users and external Web users to act both as contributors and consumers. The key to this functionality is the layer in the middle where information and the process flow can be managed in both directions, mashed-up, manipulated, and analyzed. We introduce you to CorasWorks Solution for Internet Sites, which is a packaged solution that extends Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 to enable organizations to accomplish this without requiring custom code development. Presenter: Adam Macaulay, Vice President of Technology, CorusWorks

In this webcast, we provide an overview of what is possible to brand, what SharePoint Server capabilities it makes sense to use, and what you might want to create yourself.
