Session title
Bridging the Gap – get the most value out of SharePoint Customizations wherever you are. 1:15 – 1:45 pm
Tuesday 26th September: Transformation
Transformation is the process of modernizing and migrating SharePoint environments. Rencore helps you in assessing your deployed customizations and their usage in your SharePoint farms, so you can better understand your migration requirements, decide which customizations to keep, which to transform, and which to get rid of. Furthermore, it’s judgment day! The release of our more-powerful-than-ever SPTransformator is going to be unveiled and we can’t wait to let you try it out. For those who have followed our feature focus series, you’ll be familiar with the awesome upgrades that SPTransformator has in its locker – and it’s been completely revamped with automated feature applications to make migration project development risk free and continuously governed. The good people at Ignite will have the chance to demo it for the first time!
Wednesday 27th September: Governance
Now this is a huge announcement – we will be demoing our brand new AnalysisCloud on Wednesday 27th September. Yes, that’s right, we’re bringing you a tool that provides Governance and Risk Prevention for live customizations within the SharePoint Online environment. Customization Governance is critical for all SharePoint environments and it should be in place from day one. Rencore delivers Governance solutions by producing tools that shape coding policies and rules, and we streamline your governance activities through automation and continuous monitoring of your customizations. Don’t get left behind manually governing your SharePoint customizations. Here are some words from our AnalysisCloud product owner Tobias Zimmergren:
“Customizing SharePoint Online offers many benefits. However, if your customizations are not secure, you face a range of risks – from poor user experience to the potential of being hacked. The nature of cloud services, especially SharePoint in general, is that every user can customize. This means that Citizen Developers may unknowingly introduce insecure customizations.”
AnalysisCloud provides Risk Prevention and Governance for your SharePoint Online environment by analyzing live customizations.
Thursday 28th September: Risk-Prevention
SPCAF, our flagship tool, is being masterfully captained by our product owner Waldek Mastykarz, and in keeping with our other products, SPCAF’s had a tune-up too! Rencore’s Risk Prevention solution helps you mitigate maintenance & security risks for your organization’s SharePoint farms and tenants. You can detect and track coding errors, performance problems and security risks inside your own SharePoint customizations and ones supplied by service providers & consultants.
Moreover, SharePoint Online and its customization capabilities are continuously evolving and it’s hard to keep track which capabilities you should steer away from and which you can safely use in your solutions. That’s why we put together this comprehensive customization guide to take you through that process. The customization guide has category filters, so you can easily search for the sure bets, ones to act with caution and the ones to avoid.
Fun and Freebies
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, right? Well, yes, we totally agree with that statement too. So, come and join us and TEST YOUR MIGHT! With the famous Masskrugstemmen event – wait…what? You’ve never heard of it?! Mmmph… this is what’s in store for you my friend!
It has all the main staples that many southern Bavarian folk games follow: beer, masculine ego stroking, and possibly a lot of chanting too. Masskrugstemmen or Steinholding is a traditional Bavarian strength contest in which competitors hold a full one-liter beer stein or Masskrug out in front of their bodies with a straight arm, parallel to the ground. You hold it for as long as you can. The last one still holding at the end is the winner! We will be applying the same rules, but you’ll be competing against the clock, and the highest time at the end of the event wins. Congratulations! you will be able to slam your masskrug down on your complimentary Rencore beer mat, take a victory bite of your Rencore pretzels, and savor this victorious moment by showing off your free T-Shirt and tattoos (temporary tattoos of course). Join us in our happy hour between Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 5:30 pm until 6:30 pm.
