I was honoured to be invited as a top SharePoint partner, and presenter, at the DataLan and Microsoft launch of Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010 this week in New York City. (Here I am enjoying Times Square after the event.) There was a good turnout of about 150 people at the day-long “open house” event  held at Microsoft’s mid-Manhattan offices.

I led a breakout session about Adlib’s PDF for SharePoint product- the only server-based solution that offers PDF conversion, recognition (OCR) and publishing functionality within the SharePoint environment.

More than 30 business people attended my breakout session, and some of their queries were around regulatory compliance, such as FDA submissions, as well as integration into enterprise-level applications such as Documentum and FileNet.

Some of Adlib’s own enterprise-level customers were at the event, and attendees came from all sectors – including life sciences, government, legal and financial services industries.

The event was attended by several other of DataLan’s partners working in the Microsoft ecosystem, including Nintex, Knowledge Lake, Bamboo Solutions, Syntergy, and Metalogix.
