“What happened in Vegas”– #SharePoint Conference 2014: Day 3 – Microsoft’s shock announcement & SharePoint storage architecture session #SPC14 #SharePointOnline

This is my personal account of activities from the SharePoint Conference 2014.

Day 3 – Session 1 – Microsoft’s shock announcement

So we all have heard that InfoPath forms are dead, the conference and I was buzzing to see what Microsoft were recommending to replace InfoPath. I felt sorry for the presenters with the pressure to excite the audience with such a socially hyped (SharePoint community) announcement and a great job they did, however the upcoming replacement is a spring release with basic functionality. Microsoft themselves have identified this and amongst others have recommended #Nintex forms, which is simple as we have already been implementing here at CPS, for mobile clients. Update on InfoPath and SharePoint Forms Session

Back in the UK no one had time for me, out here in Vegas I struggled for time to network and meet all the new people, surrounded by interesting individuals!

Session 2 –  SharePoint storage architecture, 2001-present inside and out

Great last session of the day! Lee Mather wish you could have been here! Brilliant explanation of Shredded Storage and how to tune it? Went from no understanding to an Infrastructure Architecture in 60 minutes! If you want to get the best storage performance out of your SP farm watch this session..
