Mint Management Technologies attends Microsoft SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas


Johannesburg, 12 Dec 2012

Mint Management Technologies, "Mint", goes the extra mile to ensure it remains on top of technology advancements by attending the recent worldwide Microsoft SharePoint Conference (SPC), held in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 12 to 15 November.

The aim of the conference was to join Microsoft as it revealed its new SharePoint 2013 product to the community at large. The conference was also an opportunity for many ISVs (independent solution vendors) to showcase their add-ons for the latest version of SharePoint. Prominent figures such as K2, Mimecast and AvePoint made their presence felt in the exhibition halls, with massive giveaways as K2 gave away 20 surface devices and AvePoint gave away a Bugatti motor cycle.

The conference also allowed delegates to connect with champions of the industry in the "Ask the Experts" session that proved to be very informative. In addition, the delegates had access to various "hands-on labs", where the latest technology was available to play with.

"Over 250 different sessions were on offer at this year's SharePoint Conference, making it impossible to attend everything. Mint's main aim was to glean as much information as possible on how to super-charge the functionality already available through SharePoint 2010, and to learn what is on the cards for the next version of SharePoint," said Francois Pienaar, Mint's Services & Business Development Director, who attended the event.

Mint's Shared Services Director, Yvonne Dias, agreed: "It is critical for Mint to expose our customers to international IT trends, and we look forward to sharing the information we gathered at the conference with our customer base."

Of the 10 000 delegates, only 20 were from South Africa. "In a very competitive IT sector it's important to stay in the lead bunch. Mint's access to champions of the industry and product roadmap information will be put to good work as we continue to expand our successful SharePoint practice," said Pienaar.
